Hungarton Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built of brick in 1895. In 1901 there were 80 sittings but this figure had risen to 105 by 1911. All seats were free in 1931.
In 1941 the accommodation comprised a chapel measuring 27 feet by nearly 20 feet and seating for 80 persons in pews and a schoolroom (16 feet by nearly 13 feet) but no other rooms.
The chapel stood on the west side the same lane heading northwards out of the village as the 1845 chapel but further north (grid ref SK690075)
