Description
Wauldby Chapel is a Grade II listed chapel built in 1844 by J L Pearson. It is constructed of small coursed rubble with freestone dressings and has graduated slate roofs, showcasing a Gothic revival style. The chapel features a 4-bay nave with a south porch and a 2-bay chancel that includes a north vestry.
The nave has a plinth, a sill band, and angle buttresses with offsets. There are three lancet windows with trefoil heads and hoodmoulds, and the eaves are stepped. The north wall has similar fenestration. On the west elevation, there is a moulded plinth and a stepped band beneath two lancets with decorated tracery, which are topped by a running hoodmould. The gable features a sexfoil window in a moulded opening beneath a shaped bracket that once supported a bellcote, which was removed around 1980. The gables are coped, with the west gable topped by an iron cross finial.
The chancel has a buttress with gablets and a stepped sill band. It features paired lancets with Decorated tracery under a running hoodmould, and the east end has three similar stepped lancets. The gable at the east end is coped on shaped kneelers.
Inside, the chapel is very plain, with most fittings now removed. A polygonal pulpit is accessible from the north vestry via a passage with a wall.
