Old Chapel Cottages

Old Chapel Cottages is a former stable and now a single house, dating from the early to mid-18th century, with possibly earlier origins. The building consists of three stages of construction and has undergone later additions and alterations. It features a timber-framed structure, with some small frames exposed at the south end and the rear, reddish-brown brick in irregular bond, and gabled plain-tile roofs.

The exterior is single-storey with attics and has three first-floor windows. At the rear, there is an outshut. The ground floor includes, from left to right: a plank door, a casement window, another plank door, two casement windows, a plank door beneath a gabled hood, a casement window under an elliptical arch, another plank door under an elliptical arch, a casement window under an elliptical arch, a fire window, and a final casement window under an elliptical arch. All casements are 20th century, made of wood frames with glazing bars. The northern section features a modillion cornice, and there are three gabled dormers with casements. There are off-centre ridge stacks on the left and right, with the right stack formerly being a massive end stack, now encased by later construction.

Inside, the ceilings retain chamfered beams, and there are two inglenook fireplaces with bressumer beams, each accompanied by winder staircases. The building has plank doors with original wrought-iron latches, a huge tension brace at the rear left, and close-studded partition walls in the attic. The wall plate remains visible throughout, and tie beams and purlins are exposed in some areas.

Historically, the building was first mentioned in accounts from 1753 as the parson's stable. It forms a group with the Old Church of St Mary.
