Former chapel, Welton

There are two former chapels on this site; to the left is a modern extension at the rear of a neo-gothic baptist chapel facing West Road, which is listed https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1115225 , with the date given unequivocally as 1839. This neo-classical facade, which also has a quatrefoil, faces Millard's Hill and has a tablet inscribed "Primitive Methodist Chapel AD 1858", is not listed. (Both have been converted into flats, known as Millard's Court.) https://docplayer.net/85018444-Midsomer-norton-and-welton-conservation-area-character-appraisal.html describes this as "built of squared coursed white lias limestone rubble with oolitic limestone dressings and semi-circular headed windows and central door". But it gives a date of 1935 for the listed building next door. I think, however, that must be the date of the extension.
