Nonconformist Chapel

The Nonconformist Chapel, built in 1868 by A Lauder of Barnstaple, is a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel located in Landkey. It is constructed of snecked stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof adorned with crested ridge tiles, coped gable ends, and an apex finial at the west end. The chapel has a rectangular plan and is a single storey building with a galleried west end.

On the north and south sides, there is a three-window range that includes plate tracery in the two round-lobed, trefoil-headed lights set within pointed arched openings, with quatrefoils in the tympanums. The easternmost buttress on the north side surrounds a Gothick pointed arched doorway, which has a deeply recessed plank door. The pointed arched east window features plate tracery with a cinquefoil center, surrounded by quatrefoils and roundels in a rose window style, with additional quatrefoils at the base and a trefoiled head, all containing patterned stained glass.

The west end has diagonal corner buttresses, with the left side incorporating a foundation stone. It features blind mouchette traceried gablets at the heads of the offsets flanking three grouped pointed arched openings. The central doorway arch is supported by colonnettes with foliated capitals, while the outer openings are blind to the springing level, with quatrefoils above the traceried head. The central door consists of two leaves with foliated strap hinges. Above, there is a large pointed arched west window with five cinquefoil-headed lights, quatrefoils at the heads of the two outer lights, and three quatrefoils in a rose above the central light. The pointed arched hoodmould returns around the splayed corners of the chapel, which has a short raised parapet at the south-west corner.

Inside, the chapel retains much of its 19th-century furnishings, including a rostrum flanked by organ galleries and a west gallery. The structure features four principal trusses and two gable end trusses, with straight principals supported on wall plates that are pierced with quatrefoils. Arch braces spring from foliated stone corbels, which have pierced trefoils on the cusped soffit blades.
