Ebley Chapel And Attached Boundary Walls To East

The building is a former British School and Chapel, dating to 1840, with an extension added in 1896. It is constructed of coursed and dressed limestone, with ashlar dressings and facade, and has slate roofs with boxed eaves. The original 1840 section comprises a single-cell former schoolroom. It has blind arches to the ground floor, above which are large sash windows, originally 12-pane but with the horizontal glazing bars now removed. The south front, facing Huntingdon Close, features five sashes and blind arches, separated by broad pilasters, as well as a broad cill band and an eaves band. Large 12-pane sashes are located at the east and west sides, set below the cill band and flanked by smaller sashes similar to those on the south front. A raised stone commemorative panel is situated under the central sash at the east (entrance) end. A lower, hipped range, dating to 1896, is located to the north and also features an eaves band and boxed eaves. This extension includes a pair of part-glazed doors under a plain fanlight, within deep arched reveals, and a long return front with six irregularly spaced sashes. The west end of the extension has a deep-set arched door, and a small two-light casement. The interior of the building was not inspected during the listing process. Attached to the east is an ashlar boundary wall, stone-coped, with a pair of central cast-iron gates flanked by piers with weathered stone cappings. Similar, but smaller, piers terminate the wall at either end. A lower wall in coursed stone, capped, is stopped to the south-east corner of the chapel, and includes a single small iron gate at its junction with the main wall. The school, chapel, manse, cottage, and cemetery railings form a group.
