Description
No. 1 and St Andrew's Mission Chapel is a cottage and mission chapel that was formerly a single house, dating from the 17th century, and possibly incorporating older elements. The building is constructed of cob with a stone plinth and is plastered, topped with a hipped and gabled-end thatched roof. Originally, it had a three-room, cross-passage layout, with the lower end located on the left side of the passage. The right-hand end stack heats the parlour, while an axial stack backs onto the passage and heats the hall, featuring brick shafts.
The building has two storeys and a front elevation with a three-window range. The first floor has three-light windows with old metal casements, while the ground floor features two 19th-century casement windows that are barred, along with one three-light 20th-century metal casement window for the chapel, which was formerly the parlour. The left-hand door leading to the passage has a chamfered surround, with jambs that feature step stops and anchor hinges. The other front door, which leads to the chapel, also has a chamfered surround but is set under a bressumer adorned with two lines of dentils.
To the right-hand end, there is one 19th-century casement window, and another at the rear, where a planked studded door leads to No. 1. A lean-to is located at the rear, along with a timber and brick extension at the left-hand end.
Inside, the passage features a large cross beam, while the hall contains two cross beams that are chamfered with step stops. There is a plank and muntin screen separating the hall from the former parlour (now the chapel), with muntins that have ovolo moulded chamfers and stops positioned 18 inches above ground level, along with remnants of a door surround. The fireplace in the hall has a chamfered lintel and unchamfered jambs. The chapel is open to the roof, possibly supported by upper crucks, with purlins that are lapped and trenched, although the apex carpentry is not visible. The end fireplace features stone jambs and a lintel with cyma recta moulding and run-out stops, along with some herringbone stonework at the rear and traces of red paint that may be old.
