Boone'S Chapel (With Short Abutting Wall To East)

Boone's Chapel, located on Lee High Road, is a Grade I listed building that was formerly the chapel of Boone's Almshouses, which were demolished in 1877. The chapel was founded around 1680-1683 and is now scheduled as an ancient monument. It is a single-storey structure built of red brick with stone dressings, including a decorative door surround, window architraves, and rusticated quoins. The building has a rectangular plan with a square bay projection on the north side and features a hipped roof topped by an open wooden cupola. The east, south, and west sides are adorned with pediments and wooden modillion cornices, while the north side has a moulded wooden cornice. The south elevation has a central doorway flanked by round-arched windows and an oval window above the entrance, all featuring scroll key blocks. To the east, there is a wall with three brick and stone piers topped with ball caps. At the time of the survey, the chapel was empty and in need of some repair.
