Description
Chapel House is a house said to date from 1849, constructed using materials from the demolished outbuildings of the Methodist Church, which dates from around 1720 to 1730. It is likely that Chapel House was built around the same time as the Methodist Church. The building features ashlar and freestone with a Cotswold stone roof and a coped verge on the left side. It has two storeys and flat strings above both the ground and first floors. There are two windows on the first floor, which are glazing-bar sashes with segmental heads, set in wide flat surrounds that include cock-beads and keys. To the right of the centre, there is a late 19th-century shop window with glazing bars and a half-glazed door. The remodelling around 1849 is attributed to Jonathan Banbury, the son of a former Parish Clerk.
