Anglican chapel (disused). Probably C13 or C14. Local grey limestone rubble with some red sandstone dressings; stone slate roof. PLAN: Small aisleless chapel, spectacularly sited above the sheer side of Chapel Hill. Doorway on south side. EXTERIOR: Very plain. The east end has a segmental-headed window opening (unglazed). One slit window on the south side, which has a segmental-headed arched doorway with red sandstone voussoirs and the stub walls of a former porch. North side windowless. West end wall thicker to the bottom with a slit window in the gable end wall. Impressively massive stone slate roof. INTERIOR: The floor is uneven bedrock. Stone pointed-barrel vaulted roof. A medieval chapel about which little is recorded. Suggested date tentative. Unusual roof construction for the region. The interior was scaffolded at time of survey.
