Grasslot chapel was built of stone It was probably the building which received local authority approval on 20 April 1908. The Primitive Methodists bought it from the Baptist Church for £325 in 1913. A plan and elevations of the “Grasslot Mission Property” made by Wilk Sergison of Prospect, Bullgill, Cumberland while negotiations for sale were in progress shows a chapel roughly 45 feet by 20 feet with porch attached near the south eastern corner and a vestry at the north western corner. A separate building to the rear contained two more vestries, a coal store and a boiler room. The end elevation had three lancet windows and the side elevation three rectangular windows. In 1940 it had 150 sittings on forms, a schoolroom and one other room. It had probably been closed by 1980 and was in residential occupation in February 2015.
