Description
The Congregational Chapel, built in 1820 and enlarged in 1852, is a non-conformist chapel located in Selborne, Oakhanger. It features painted rubble stone with brick quoins and has a low-pitched hipped slate roof. The building is rectangular, consisting of three bays, with a fourth bay added at the rear that serves as a two-storey house. The front elevation faces east and includes a window on each side of the central entrance. The windows are two-light Gothic casements, and the doorway has an oval arch with double doors, each made up of three panels with reeding. This entrance is now protected by a porch that has brick side walls, a gable with a slate roof, and a boarded front featuring a Gothic arch. Above each window, there are stone plaques with inscriptions, one indicating the original construction date of 1820 and the other noting the enlargement in 1852. Each side elevation has three chapel windows, although the easternmost window is now filled but retains the original frame. The house section is rendered and features Victorian sash windows on each face and floor. Inside the chapel, there is an inscribed memorial tablet dedicated to the founder, Elliah Butler of Alton.
