Description

This building, located 130 meters south-southeast of The Ancient House, is a former Congregational chapel that has been converted into a garden outbuilding. It dates from the late 17th century and features a timber frame with plaster, while the south wall has been rebuilt in colourwashed brick. The building has a hipped thatched roof and is a single storey with a narrow room measuring approximately 12 meters in length. It includes 20th-century casement windows and a door. On the north side, there are three sloping buttresses and a pantiled overhang, along with a small stack on the east gable end.
