Description
The Granary Church is a mid-18th century granary, later converted into a church. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar dressings and flush banding, and has a Welsh slate roof. The building has a gable-fronted plan. The front elevation features a central stone flat-arched entrance with a keyblock, and a two-light casement window in the gable with a segmental head. Stone parapets with ornamental kneelers are present on both gables. The side walls contain two tiers of two-light leaded casement windows, the lower ones with segmental heads. A stone eaves cove runs along the top of the building, and at basement level are semi-circular brick arches with stone keyblocks, which were formerly open. The interior has not been inspected.
