Shelter With Monument To Providence Chapel

The shelter with a monument to Providence Chapel is a lean-to, open-fronted structure located in the center of Loddiswell village. Dated 1926, it features mainly early 19th-century memorial tablets. The shelter is constructed of rubble with a slate roof and is set against the north wall of the burial ground for the Chapel, which was demolished in the same year.

The back and return walls are adorned with 17 memorial slabs that were previously located in the chapel or the burial ground, along with some free-standing slabs. The earliest memorial dates from the early 19th century, including one for George Denner, who died in 1809, and another for Mary Gay, who passed away in 1810, signed by W Phillips. Additional tablets commemorate Sarah Ann Williams, who died in 1838 at six weeks old, and Sarah Jane Williams, who died in 1844 at two years and six months old. One tablet notes that Providence Chapel was built by the Reverend George Denner in 1808, while a smaller tablet below it records the demolition of the chapel and the erection of the shelter in 1926.
