Description
No 6 on Box Lane was reputedly built in 1690 on the site of an early 17th century chapel and was restored in 1876. It was originally used as a Presbyterian chapel and later as a Congregational Church. The building has recently been converted into a house and now has an upper floor, whereas it was originally a single-storey structure. It has a square plan, with whitewashed roughcast walls and a tiled roof featuring a central gable. A plaque on the building formerly stated: "Founded 1600, rebuilt 1690, restored 1876". There are two round-arched lattice casement windows with pointed arched wood mullions and tracery. Inside, the exposed roof truss with purlins has been converted from two columns that supported the former ceiling. The pitch pine fittings from 1876 have now been removed.
