Description

The Chapel of St Saviour is a chapel of ease built around 1880. It is constructed from snecked slatestone rubble with granite dressings, featuring a rock-faced granite plinth and quoins. The chapel has slate roofs adorned with crested ridge tiles, deep eaves, and a gabled nave with a lower roof over the chancel, which has hips over an apsidal east end. The structure consists of a nave and chancel, with a south porch and a north vestry, all designed in a Gothic style.

The nave has three bays and is set on a plinth with weathered buttresses. The west gable end features tall paired lancets with a quatrefoil above, a cill string, and a moulded string course that extends over the windows. To the left, there is a bell with a pitched roof. The south side of the nave includes three-light windows and deep eaves. The gabled south porch showcases granite banding in the masonry, a pointed arched doorway to the east with double doors that have strap hinges, paired cusped lancets to the south with a blind quatrefoil above, and a single cusped lancet to the west. A moulded string course runs over the heads of both the windows and the door.

Attached to the north side of the nave is a lean-to vestry, which has a single light to the west and a door with a shouldered head to the east. The chancel is a single bay with a canted apsidal east end, featuring a triple lancet to the south, a single lancet to the north, and one lancet on each of the three sides to the east.

Inside, there is a pointed arched doorway with double doors that have strap hinges leading from the porch to the nave. The nave and chancel have brick walls, with plain dado panelling in the nave. The nave boasts a four-bay arched-brace roof, with arched braces rising from corbels and upper collars with king-posts. The chancel has a tall four-centred arch with a hood mould, and its roof includes moulded ribs and a ridge purlin, along with a brattished wall-plate. The fittings include an altar rail supported by wrought iron piers.
