Description
The Baptist Chapel and adjoining house, located on the north side of Hawkshead Hill, dates from 1678 but was restored and likely altered in 1878. The building features roughcast stone with a slate roof. The chapel consists of three bays, with the third bay having a large porch beneath a cat slide roof. It has tall pointed windows with Y-tracery and fixed glazing. The porch includes a casement window and an entrance to the right. At the rear, there is a small wing. Inside, the chapel has a balcony and a staircase with turned balusters, square newels, and moulded rails. The house to the left is two storeys high and has two bays. The ground floor has segmental-headed openings, a casement window in the first bay, a window in a slate slab porch at the centre which was formerly the entrance, and an entrance with a glazed door in the second bay. The first-floor windows are sashed with single glazing bars and horns. The building features a gable-end stack and a cross-axial stack.
