Description

The Old Chapel is a former Sunday school built in the mid-19th century. It is constructed from coursed stone and sits on a plinth, topped with a Welsh slate roof that features stone copings. The building has two storeys and three windows, which are late 19th-century sash windows. An early 20th-century projecting gabled wooden porch adds to its character. Additionally, there are cast iron area railings. The building is included in the listing partly for its group value with the nearby Chapel.
