Description

The Chapel of St John is a Church of England chapel built in 1839 at the request of the then rector, William Chanter. It features stone rubble walls and a gable-ended slate roof. The chapel has a rectangular plan that runs north-south, with a two-storey porch on the east side.

The exterior includes five bays on each long side wall, divided by rubble buttresses with offsets. On the east side, bays one, four, and five have original two-light Y-tracery windows with two-centred heads. The west wall has windows in bays one, three, and five, while a similar style three-light window is located on the south wall. The large crenellated two-storey porch is situated in the central bay and features a four-centred rubble arch with set-back buttresses at the corners. Above the arch is an original clock with a datestone from 1839, and there is a timber bell-cote above it. The original gates lead to a doorway with panelled double doors set in a two-centred head doorway. This chapel replaced the town hall, which was a 17th-century arcaded structure.
