The Chantry

The Chantry, located at No 4 in Alveley Centre Place, is a building dated 1706 and 1725 with later alterations. It features a whitewashed brick exterior and a plaintile roof, along with restored brick stacks and a coped end gable on the right side. The structure is two stories high with two windows that have later diamond-paned casements and keyed lintels on the first floor. A central square-headed doorway is topped with a gabled hood, and there is a plain brick band at the first-floor level. Between the upper windows, there is a stone tablet inscribed with initials and the date 1725. To the left, there is an earlier gabled projecting wing made of whitewashed rubble with plain tiles and stone coping on the gable. This wing has a two-story plain central door and a later casement window on the upper floor, along with a stone tablet above it inscribed with initials and the date 1706. The south end elevation has some poor later features. The Chantry is part of a group that includes the Church of St Mary, the Churchyard Cross, walls, and all the buildings in Centre Place.
