Chapel Cottage

Chapel Cottage is a building that was originally a chapel and has been converted into a cottage. It dates back to the medieval period, with alterations made in the 16th and 18th centuries. The walls are constructed from stone rubble and 18th-century brickwork, with plastered surfaces. The gables are timber framed and weatherboarded, and the roof is covered with 20th-century red clay tiles. The building has a rectangular plan aligned northeast-southwest, featuring a large 16th-century external stack on the northwest side and a 20th-century lean-to W.C. with a corrugated asbestos roof at the northern corner. It is one storey high with attics.

On the southeast elevation, there are three 20th-century casement windows and an additional casement in a flat-roofed dormer. The entrance has a plain boarded door from the 20th century. The roof has half-hipped ends. The original rubble walls are between 0.60 and 0.70 meters thick. A significant section in the middle of the southeast side has been rebuilt in brick, which is plastered both inside and out. At the southwest end, 18th-century brick underpinning and three short brick buttresses indicate some repair work. The external stack is also plastered. Inside, there are two plain-chamfered transverse beams, with joists that are plastered to the soffits. Near the northeast end of the southeast side, there is a piscina with a projecting basin and a sexfoiled drain, which has led the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England (RCHM) to date the building to the 14th century. The arch above the piscina has been rebuilt in 18th-century brick, and the wall has been pierced to create a window. There are two 20th-century grates for the external stack, and the roof is likely from the 19th or 20th century.
