Description

Mariner's Chapel is an early 19th century chapel that stands two storeys tall, constructed of painted rat-trap brick and topped with a grey slate roof. The façade features three window ranges with double hung sashes that include glazing bars, flanked by stucco pilasters and adorned with gauged arches. A late 19th century gabled porch is present, which has a four-panelled door and a two-centred arched glazed fanlight above it.
