Salem Chapel Including Forecourt Walls, Railings, Gate Piers, Gates And Chest Tomb To Edward Park

Salem Chapel, built in 1844, features rubble walls with larger dressed quoins and dressed voussoir stones for the window and door lintels. The building has a hipped slate roof and a single-storey, single room plan with a gallery at the entrance end. The symmetrical front faces the road and includes a central doorway with original panelled double doors set behind a Doric porch that has a moulded cornice, front pillars, and back pilasters. Above the porch is a tablet inscribed with "Salem Chapel 1844." There is an original 16-pane hornless sash window above the entrance, and on the left side of the chapel, there are four identical windows arranged in two rows. The opposite side wall features two identical windows at first floor level. Inside, the chapel retains its original panelled gallery.

The forecourt in front of the chapel contains four graves, including a chest tomb for Edward Palk, who built the chapel and died in 1857. At the front of the forecourt, there is a low wall topped with iron railings, and at the center, two square gate piers made of ashlar with chamfered coping stones and projecting bases.
