Description
Chapel House is a house that was originally intended to be a church but was never completed as such. It was built around 1790 by John Sneyd of Belmont Hall. The structure is made of coursed dressed and squared stone, with tiled roofs and a side stack on the east. The building features a west tower, nave, and chancel that all share a continuous ridge.
The west tower has unfinished three-stage buttresses and two stages capped by a pyramidal roof. It includes two Y-tracery windows on the north side. The nave and chancel are fenestrated on the west half with three windows; these consist of block mullioned casements that are full height, with a transom on the left and two tiers of two lights and one light on the right. The east window is pointed and labelled, featuring four lights with geometric tracery. There is an entrance on the south side.
The church was commissioned by John Sneyd after a disagreement with the incumbent of St Leonards. The dispute was resolved before the building was completed, and it was presumably converted into a dwelling at that time.
