Description

Chapel Cottage is a 15th-century chapel and priest's residence, originally known as the charity chapel of St Mary the Virgin, founded and endowed by John Falcon. The building is constructed of red brick in English bond and features crow-stepped gables with a stone finial cross at the apex of the east gable. It has one diagonal chimney shaft located centrally on the roof and another square-set chimney at the west gable. The structure has a T-plan due to an extension to the northwest. The east window displays an altered pointed brick arch with a stone niche above it in the gable apex. There are angle buttresses and recent cast iron lattice casements. The roof is peg-tiled and has crested ridge-bonnets. The original floor-joists remain in the west bay, which was the former priest's house, featuring housed soffit-shoulders and ogee with hollow mouldings.
