Description

Pottlelake Chapel is a small chapel built in 1893, constructed from stone rubble and located next to Leigh Cottage. It features a slate roof with gabled ends and has a small timber and slate hooded bellcote positioned over the ridge on the left side. The left-hand side has a Tudor arched stone doorway with a drip mould, while to the right are two stone windows, each containing three four-centred arched lights with leaded panes. There is a similar window in the east gable end, which has a tablet above it displaying the initials "WH.BP" and the date "1893".
