Chapel And Railings

The building is a former Congregational chapel, converted into two cottages, and features railings. It was constructed in 1863 and is made of coursed watershot hammer-faced sandstone rubble with sandstone ashlar dressings, topped with a stone slate roof and complemented by cast-iron railings. The architectural style is Italianate, and the building is single storey with three bays.

The gabled entrance front has chamfered rusticated quoins. At the corners, there are two slightly-projecting ashlar porches that contain round-arched Tuscan doorways, each with four-panel leaved doors. These doorways are topped by a projecting cornice that carries acroteria. Below the central window opening, there is a sill band with a round arch made of rubble voussoirs and a console keystone, which contains two round-arched lights with glazing bars, along with a blind circle and two trefoils in the tympanum. The gable features a keyed oculus with board infilling, and there are kneelers and ashlar copings. At the apex, there is a round-arched ashlar bellcote topped by a spiked orb.

The side elevations have a sill band that supports eight-pane round-arched windows with ashlar surrounds and impost bands. In front of the chapel, there is a low rubble wall with ashlar coping and cast-iron railings. Each finial consists of a circle containing a quatrefoil, topped by a fluted cone with a knob, and there are turned baluster interval posts.
