Description
A former Congregational Chapel, now in industrial use, was built around 1852 by Lockwood and Mawson. It is a well-executed example of Gothic Revival architecture, specifically in the Early English lancet style. The building is constructed from hammer-dressed sandstone with a Westmorland green-slate roof. It is a single-story structure with a steeply-gabled entrance front featuring gableted angle buttresses. The central, shallow-gabled porch contains deeply-moulded paired portals set under a recessed double-order arch with shafting, and a tympanum featuring a corbelled niche holding an angel statuette supported on a foliate-capped corbel-head. A deeply undercut dripmould with foliate stops adorns the arch. The building has good iron door furniture. Above the porch is a group of three well-proportioned shafted lancet windows. The gables are coped with kneelers and a finial at the apex. The side returns have five bays, each with pairs of chamfered lancet windows articulated by shallow buttresses.
