Description
Chapel. Dated 1790 on a stone plaque, with a 19th-century addition to the rear. The chapel is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with a hipped slated roof, and incorporates a 19th-century red brick and pantiled roof section. It has a single, galleried storey. The symmetrical front facade is divided into three bays and features flat dressed stone arches with plain key blocks over the openings. There are two 20th-century doors with rectangular fanlights, deeply recessed, alongside a central sixteen-paned hung sash window and three similar, slightly recessed first-floor windows. Two plain stone plaques are set between the first-floor windows, with inscriptions painted black: "The building Erected by Subscription" and "For a Place of Worship 1790," with further dated inscriptions on the side walls.
The interior has a gallery on three sides supported by slender columns, with simple pine benches lining the gallery. There are two gallery staircases. In one version of the building, a 1992 refurbishment removed box pews, a rostrum, and the original brick floor, and altered a 19th-century emersion bath. In another version, the building retains box pews with fielded panels, an enlarged pulpit with reeded panels, and original brick floors, with a 19th-century emersion bath. The original chapel was founded at Winwick in 1780. Minute books and registers date from 1811.
