Description
The former Presbyterian chapel, located approximately 12 metres to the south-west of Number 7 (The Old House), was built in 1716 and has since served as a school, dance hall, and builders store. It is now disused. The building is constructed of red brick, with the front rendered and some stone dressings. It features a hipped plain tile roof with gablets, a moulded stone plinth, and chamfered stone quoins on the front. At the rear, there is a tall external brick lateral stack.
The front has a pair of segmental-headed windows with round-relieving arches above, which are visible from the inside, and 19th-century two-light wooden casements. To the left, there is a doorway with a pegged frame, although this is now obscured by a 19th-century lean-to addition that includes two-light wooden casements on the left and a central recessed pair of 19th-century panelled doors with a round-arched overlight. Access to the door is via four steps. There is also a 19th-century lean-to addition on the left-hand return front.
At the rear, there are a pair of segmental-headed windows with their heads rebuilt in the late 19th century, featuring round-relieving arches above and 19th-century two-light wooden casements. Inside, the chapel has a moulded wooden dado rail and a moulded wooden cornice, along with a plaster ceiling that has a deep cove surrounding a central rectangular panel. This building replaced an earlier meeting house that was destroyed by a mob in 1715. A series of 18th-century memorial tablets that were once in the chapel were removed in 1896 to the Congregational (United Reformed) Church, which is also located in Dodington, opposite.
