The Old Chapel Including Front Courtyard Wall, Gate Piers And Gate

The Old Chapel, originally a Methodist chapel and now a house, was built in 1859. It features a front made of roughly coursed killas rubble with dressed granite quoins, jambstones, sills, and a roof equipped with cast iron ogee gutters and downpipes. The building has a rectangular aisless plan with galleries and two storey elevations. The symmetrical hipped front includes a central ground floor doorway with double doors and two first floor windows that light the gallery. Each side wall has three ground floor and three first floor windows, all original 16-pane hornless sashes in their original openings. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to have the original gallery.

In front of the chapel is a walled courtyard with slurried rubble-coped walls on three sides. One wall runs parallel to the front of the chapel, screening the doorway, while another wall extends towards the front on the left and connects to the entrance wall beside the road. The entrance wall features a gateway with round-headed, square-on-plan granite monolithic gate piers and an original wrought iron gate. The gate includes roundels on the lock rail, a top rail that ramps up to a point, and spear head finials. This charming Methodist chapel remains externally unaltered.
