Chapel House

Chapel House, formerly known as the Congregational Chapel, is a house that dates back to 1826. It is constructed from ashlar gritstone and features coped gables and parapets, a single brick ridge stack, and a roof covered with Welsh slate, while the former chapel house has stone slates. The building is two to three storeys high and includes 2-light Gothic 'Y' tracery windows in the chapel and 2-light mullioned windows in the basement, all adorned with hood moulds and stops, along with Gothic glazing. A string course marks the parapet. The gable facing the street has an advanced doorway with flanking lancets, all featuring hood moulds and stops. A datestone on the front gable is inscribed with '1826'. The interior has been removed. At the rear, there is a lower single bay house with sash frames and Gothic lights set in flush stone surrounds on the upper floor of the rear gable. The chapel was built and funded by Thomas Bateman, Senior, of Middleton Hall.
