Description
The United Reformed Church, originally a Presbyterian Meeting House, was built in 1789. It features cement rendered walls resting on a rubble plinth, topped with a graduated greenslate roof. The building is single storey and consists of three bays. An early 19th-century gabled sandstone porch includes a plank door set in a pointed arch. The church has sash windows framed in painted stone with rounded heads, false keys, and impost blocks. Inside, there are 19th-century furnishings, and some of the pew doors still display painted numbers. Notably, this chapel has a small graveyard. It was constructed on the site of an earlier chapel from 1712, as documented in the Transactions of the Cumberland & Westmorland Antiquarian & Archaeological Society.
