Description
Millhouse, Dissenters Chapel, and the former Minster's house at Bullhouse is a non-conformist chapel, originally Presbyterian, dated 1692, with a cottage built slightly later. It was constructed for Elkanah Rich of Bullhouse Hall. The building features deeply-coursed stone and a stone slate roof, with a rectangular plan that includes a single storey and five bays, along with a two-storey cottage attached to the rear right.
The chapel has a chamfered plinth and a central gabled porch with an entrance that has an elliptical head and a moulded surround. The inner doorway features a shallow segmental head with an inscribed keystone that reads "APRIL 18 ANOD 1692." The entrance is adorned with a heavy, four-panel, double studded door. Each side of the entrance has double-chamfered cross-windows with round-arched lights and sunken spandrels. There is a later buttress between the fourth and fifth bays. The building also includes a moulded eaves cornice, moulded gable copings on cut kneelers, and ball finials at the apexes. The rear elevation is plain, while the left return has a 3 + 3 light transomed window. The right return features two cross-windows similar to the front, and the cottage, which is slightly set back, has a two-light window on each floor, detailed as before. The entrance to the cottage is within a later lean-to addition on the right side, which includes a four-panel door.
Inside, the chapel has a plaster ceiling and three cased tie-beams that are braced to short wall posts on stone corbels. There is a hexagonal panelled pulpit, likely original, with a tester, along with 19th-century pews and a panelled dado probably made from earlier pews. The Minster's house contains 19th or early 20th-century fittings, including a fold-down stair.
