Description
The Old Chapel is a former chapel, dating to 1795, and now used as a private residence. A porch was added around 1900. The building is constructed of brick with a blue slate roof, featuring gabled ends and a dentilled eaves cornice at the rear. It is two storeys high and has a symmetrical facade. A later porch with a dentilled eaves cornice and a set-back double doorway partially obscures a central round-arched window and two symmetrically placed, round-arched, panelled entrances. There are two fixed-light windows with glazing bars at high level. A central slate plaque displays the date '1795.' A lean-to addition is present on the right side. The left return features two ground floor fixed lights with shallow segmental heads. The rear elevation is also symmetrical, with two large, centrally placed segmental-headed windows and smaller flanking windows on each floor.
The interior has been re-arranged and includes late 18th-century pine-boarded furnishings, with the main axis now running north-south. A slate memorial on the north wall commemorates William Rouse of Hose, who died in 1801 aged 62, and his wife Ann, who died in 1835. The memorial was erected by their son, Joseph Rouse, and is signed Glenn, Hose. A marble oval memorial on the west wall is dedicated to Elizabeth Severn, relict of the late Rev. William Severn, a Unitarian Minister, who died in February 1819 aged 64. The pulpit was originally centrally placed on the west wall between the two large windows. North and south galleries have been removed. The General Baptist Congregation was formed in the mid 18th century by preachers from East Leake and joined the New Connexion in 1802.
