Wincobank Undenominational Chapel And Adjoining Schoolroom

Wincobank Undenominational Chapel and the adjoining schoolroom were built in 1841 and around 1870, with some alterations in the early 20th century. The chapel was funded by the Rawson family of Wincobank Hall. The structure is made of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs with a truncated ridge stack.

The exterior features a plinth, coped gables with kneelers, and stone corbels at the eaves. It is a single-storey building with a T-plan layout, consisting of five bays by four. The chapel has a coped west gable with a Gothic arched single bell turret and a blocked three-light pointed arch window with a hoodmould. The south side includes a central porch with a coped gable and kneelers, featuring a round-arched doorway with double plank doors and a hoodmould. Flanking the porch are two two-light stone mullioned windows with label moulds. The north side mirrors this fenestration.

The schoolroom, located to the east, has a porch on the right with a shouldered coped gable and a round-arched doorway with a hoodmould, double plank doors, and a fanlight. To the left of the porch are three two-light stone mullioned windows with label moulds. The left gable features a three-light pointed arch window with intersecting tracery and a hoodmould. At the rear, there is a 20th-century door and overlight. The right gable has a two-light mullioned window, along with two single windows below, one of which is a 20th-century window.

Inside, the chapel has an arch-braced roof supported by corbels, with additional diagonal braces. To the south, there are fielded six-panel double doors. At the front, a round-cornered dais is enclosed by a wooden balustrade, with an inserted door to the left. On the dais, there are fielded panelled choir stalls and a clergy desk from the 19th century, along with an organ case from around 1914. The schoolroom has a similar roof and an inserted floor. The fittings include 19th-century benches. Memorials within the chapel consist of marble tablets from 1883 and 1887, dedicated to members of the Rawson family. James Montgomery, the hymnologist from Sheffield, was associated with this chapel and composed a hymn for its opening ceremony.
