Salem Congregational Chapel, And Attached Manse, Martin Top

Salem Congregational Chapel and the attached Manse, located on Martin Top, is an early 19th-century building constructed from squared sandstone and topped with a stone slate roof. The chapel is two storeys high, featuring a south wall with four windows that have plain stone surrounds and semi-circular heads, each adorned with keystones and impost blocks. The two central windows are positioned at a higher level. There are doors with plain stone surrounds between the first and second bays, as well as between the third and fourth bays. A sundial tablet inscribed with "Time flies swift away" is centrally located on the facade, and the gutter is supported by square brackets. At the rear, the chapel has four first-floor windows with plain stone surrounds and a ground-floor door with plain reveals. The interior was not accessible during the survey. The Manse, built in a different style but under the same roof, has a similar appearance, featuring one window on each storey, both sashed and set in plain stone surrounds, along with another door on the right.
