Description
The Anglican Chapel, built around 1855, is a burial chapel constructed from knapped flint with stone dressings and features a slate roof adorned with ornamental crestings. The chapel consists of a nave and sanctuary under a single roof, with a projecting entrance porch on the northwest side and a vestry on the south, creating a T-shaped plan. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, it has a subordered entrance on the west elevation, flanked by a pair of two-light Decorated windows above. Inside, a carved corbel supports an attached rib that ends in an uncarved block. The east side features a three-light Decorated window with a tracery head, while the nave has two-light windows with trefoil heads. Setback buttresses mark the corners and bays, and each gable end is topped with stone coping and a gable cross. The chapel retains its original plank doors and metal hinges. It forms a pair with the Nonconformist chapel located to the north.
