Congregational Chapel

The Congregational Chapel, built in 1818 as indicated by a plaque above the entrance porch, is located on Mill Lane in Fordham. It is constructed of gault brick and features slate roofs, with a lower range at the rear added in the 19th century, made of flint and gault brick. The west-facing gable pediment has a Roman cement moulded cornice, and there is a brick plinth at the base. The chapel is a single-storey building with a central closed gabled porch that has a round-headed arch leading to shaped boarded doors. On either side of the porch, there are two hung sash windows that are shaped to round-headed brick arches, flanking a central blind window at the gallery level. The ground floor has two twenty-paned hung sash windows set in cambered gauged brick arches. A sundial is located in the blind window of the south elevation. Inside, the chapel retains its original pine fittings and features a patterned cast-iron gallery balustrade.
