Frisby Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built of brick in 1886. It provided around 150 sittings all of which were free in 1931. In 1940 the chapel was reported to measure 33½ feet by 26¼. All the seating was in pews. There was a schoolroom, 24 feet by about 13½ feet but no other rooms.
The location of this building has not been established.
