Description
Lynch Chapel of Ease is an Anglican chapel dating from around 1530, which was restored in 1880, with a porch added around 1904. The building features random rubble lias construction, diagonal buttresses, a chamfered plinth, a slate roof, coped verges, and decorative ridge tiles. It consists of a single cell that includes a nave and chancel, along with a south porch.
The south front has a gabled single-storey porch added in memory of Henry Goddard, who died in 1904. There is a triple lancet window on the west front, with a chamfered four-centred arch inner doorway and a 19th-century door. To the right, there is a two-light window under a hoodmould, and the east window, which has been largely rebuilt, contains two sets of four lights. The north front features a two-light window and a blocked four-centred arch doorway, with a similar blocked doorway at the west end.
Inside, the walls are painted rubble, and the chapel has a renewed ribbed open wagon roof, although the sanctuary is ceiled over. A west end singing gallery was constructed from old pews in 1930 by Mr. W H R Blacking. The interior also includes a panelled dado, an ogee-headed piscina, and two brackets for statues flanking the altar.
