Description
Halter Devil Chapel is a chapel built in 1723, with later alterations in the late 19th century. It is constructed from rubble gritstone, gritstone ashlar, and brick, and has Welsh slate roofs. The chapel is a single-storey structure attached to the southwest side of a two-storey farmhouse. Its front features an impressive two-bay ashlar façade in a classical style, with a central doorway that has an eared architrave and a keystone, leading to a plank door. On either side of the doorway are large windows with flush stone surrounds, segmental heads, and keystones. The corners of the façade are accentuated by pilasters that rise to a tall coped parapet topped with ball finials. The side elevation has two smaller windows that are similar in style and continues the coped parapet. The rear wall is made of brick. The chapel is said to have been enlarged in 1890 and now measures approximately 13 by 14 feet. Inside, there are plain 19th-century fittings, and the pulpit features 15th-century woodwork. Local legend attributes the chapel's construction to Francis Brown.
