Description
Arlingham Free Church, formerly the Ebenezer Chapel, was built in 1820. It was established on 27th September 1930, a date commemorated on a wooden board below the oval datestone which reads 12th July 1820. The building was constructed by John Irving. It is a small, brick building with a hipped slate roof and projecting wood eaves. A porch and a single-storey wing are set into the west side of the building. It has two long, round-headed windows on each side, each with double-hung sashes, radial glazing at the top, and deep rounded voussoirs formed by two rows of brick. A small brick extension, likely dating from 1930, features a four-pane sash window and a brick chimney. The porch has a renewed concrete lintel and double four-pane doors with long, narrow panels forming a hip to the central arris. A small corrugated iron structure is located behind the 1930 extension. Inside, there is a panelled gallery supported by two wooden columns, a matching reading desk, and tablets commemorating the founder, John Irving, and his wife, Elizabeth.
