Description
Black Chapel Cottage is a house that forms the west end of a chapel building. It was altered and expanded in the 19th century and underwent repairs around 1950 following bomb damage. Previously, it served as the priests' house. The northeast side features a gable with old bargeboards, while the southwest side has a hipped roof with a small gablet. There are several blocked original windows. Inside, the cottage has exposed ceiling beams and an open fireplace.
