Description
Brayford Baptist Chapel is a Baptist chapel built in 1820, with an extension added in 1924. The structure features rendered stone rubble and snecked stone rubble with brick dressings, topped with a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan and is a single-storey building. On the south side, there are two large round-arched windows and a plank door to the left. The north wall, which faces the road, is blank except for a reset circular stone tablet that bears the inscription 'Baptist Chapel 1820'. The interior has 20th-century furnishings. On the north side, there is a wall monument dedicated to Joseph and Mary Gould and John Winger, the founders of Brayford Baptist Church, as well as to Rev. V. Cutcliff, who served as pastor for 44 years, with the monument erected in 1901. This chapel is noted as the oldest Baptist chapel in North Devon.
