Former Chapel (Kensington Chapel)

Kensington Chapel, now a warehouse, was originally built in 1795 and converted in the late 20th century. Designed by John Palmer and built by John Jelly with public funding, it opened for service in January 1795. The building is constructed of limestone ashlar, with a slate mansard roof featuring moulded stacks to coped gable ends. It has a rectangular plan and a classical style.

The exterior is two storeys high with a basement, presenting a symmetrical three-window front. The ground floor has chamfered rustication with keystones above fixed twelve-pane windows incorporated into a platband. The large sixteen-pane first-floor windows have radial glazing bars, framed by paired Composite pilasters with consoles below the sill, which support an entablature at impost level. A parapet spans the front, bearing a flattened pediment, cornice and frieze inscribed 'KENSINGTON CHAPEL'. Double doors are located on the front returns, set under flat segmental arches associated with adjacent houses, number 5 on the right and number 6 on the left.

The interior has been significantly altered, including the insertion of two floors, and a former gallery has been removed. However, some cast iron columns remain, and the decorative panelled reredos is largely intact.

In the 1860s, when the chapel was transferred to Anglican use, a dissenting group separated to establish their own chapel at Hay Hill.
