The interior was surrounded by galleries on three sides and sittings for 370 people. It cost £1020 to build, mostly by voluntary contribution. At the north end is a stained glass window given by John Freeman Norris esq, late of Looe (1).
The Congregationalists combined with East Looe's Wesleyan Methodist congregation to form a new United Methodist Church, 'Riverside Church'sometime shortly after 1965.
