This brick building that faces onto Canada Common is the Primitive Methodist chapel, built 1901. Hampshire Treasures describes it thus: "Red brick with grey brick courses at top, middle and bottom of windows. Gabled slate roof with ridge tiles and finial over entrance. Sash windows at side with dust-coloured arches. At front entrance panelled wooden door with semi-circular fanlight and brick arch. Two deep fixed windows with semi-circular heads and brick arches. Five inscribed foundation stones." The common in the foreground is part of the National Trust-owned Bramshaw Commons. It is heavily grazed by ponies, cattle and some sheep. The gorse bushes in the foreground have been kept knee-high by the grazing pressure. The red tinge to the grass is a sorrel (probably rumex acetosa?).
