Chapel Of St John The Baptist

The Chapel of St John the Baptist is an Anglican chapel, recently made redundant, built between 1854 and 1855 by Edward Ashworth of Exeter. The chapel is constructed from dressed and snecked slatestone with limestone dressings, and has slate roofs with bracketed kneelers to dressed stone coped gables. It is designed in a Decorated Gothic Revival style, and includes a chancel, a north vestry, and a nave with a south porch.

The chancel has a single bay and features a three-light east window and a one-light, ogee-headed side window. The north vestry contains a single-light window. The nave, with three bays, has two-light windows with varied tracery; the hoodmoulds above these windows are finely carved with head stops.

Inside, the chancel has a boarded, pointed-arched roof, while the nave has a braced roof. There is a double-chamfered pointed chancel arch and a chamfered pointed-arched doorway to the vestry. Fittings include a Gothic style altar rail with dagger tracery, creed boards in the chancel, and stained glass windows dating from the mid to late 19th century. The chapel represents a competent work by a recognized local Ecclesiological architect.
