Chapel Of St Silas

The Chapel of St Silas is a chapel that likely dates back to the 13th century, with restorations completed in 1867 and 1890. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a stone-tiled roof laid in diminishing courses. The building has a three-bay nave that includes a west bellcote and a south porch, as well as a two-bay chancel.

The nave contains a 19th-century, two-light west window with a hoodmould and head stops. The north elevation was refaced in the 19th century and features a buttress with offsets to the east of the center, a two-light window, and two cusped lancets, all of which are from the 19th century. The south elevation has similar windows. The west bellcote is also from the 19th century, gabled with a finial at the center of the ridge, and it has two pointed arched openings with imposts, housing a bell in the northern opening.

The south porch, constructed in the 19th century, is gabled and features a pointed timber archway and a scissor-truss roof. The south doorway has a chamfered timber cambered head and chamfered ashlar jambs. The chancel includes a 19th-century east window with three lights, a hoodmould, and head stops, while the south elevation has a 19th-century cusped lancet, next to which is a medieval carved corbel.

Inside, there is a 19th-century pointed chancel arch made of two chamfered orders, with the inner order resting on moulded corbels. The nave features a roof from the 14th or 15th century, characterized by arch-braced collar trusses and king-post trusses, moulded wall-plates, and a single tier of cusped wind-braces, some of which have been renewed. The chancel roof is partially medieval and has a central 19th-century arch-braced collar truss.

The font is from the 19th century, made of stone with an octagonal bowl supported by four columns with ornate capitals. There is also a three-sided font of similar date with engaged columns. A stoup is located east of the south doorway. Among the memorials, there is a ledger slab in the nave dedicated to Sarah Higgins, who died in 1711.
