Description

The former chapel, dating from the late 18th century, is constructed of coursed rubble and stands three storeys tall. It features two flat-mullioned windows with hood bands on the lower floors and a door with a massive flush lintel. There is a mounting block to the right of the door. A 20th-century wing has been added to the rear. It is said to have been formerly used as a Unitarian chapel.
