Harracott Chapel

A chapel, dating from 1842 and now converted into a private residence, stands in roughly dressed stone rubble with ashlar dressings and slate roofs featuring coped gable ends. A notable feature is the ashlar bell turret, topped with a bell, situated on the west gable. The building has a uniform plan, comprising a short chancel, nave, and low north and south transepts, with a west porch. Diagonal buttresses accentuate the exterior. All windows are pointed arched, with rusticated ashlar surrounds, cusped lights, and hoodmoulds. The east and west ends each have a three-light window containing stained glass. Single-light windows fill the chancel, while two-light windows flank the transepts, positioned on each side of the nave, also with stained glass at the traceried heads. The west porch has a pointed arched doorway with a studded door and decorative strap hinges. A plaque above the doorway displays a verse from Psalm 127: "Except The Lord Build the House/Their Labour is But Lost that Built it." The construction was funded by Reverend Bourchier Wrey, who also financed the nearby parsonage, now known as Harracott House.
