Description
Chapel Barn is a former chapel and priest's house that has been converted into a cowhouse. The chapel dates from the late 13th century, while the priest's house is believed to have been built in 1632. It has been altered in the 20th century. The building is constructed of squared coursed ironstone. The chapel, located on the left, features a late 20th-century roof made of corrugated iron sheets supported by steel trusses. The priest's house has a roof made of corrugated asbestos. The chapel includes west diagonal buttresses and a blank wall facing the road, with the west wall missing. There is a plank door with a stone lintel at the rear. The original layout of the priest's house is unclear, but it was previously one storey with an attic. It has a central ribbed plank door with a wooden lintel. On the left side, there is a 2-light stone mullioned window with ovolo moulding and a hood mould, although the mullion has been removed. The right return side features an inserted hayloft opening. At the rear, the right end has a plank door in a wooden frame set within a moulded stone doorway that also has a hood mould.
