The Chantry

The Chantry is a former chantry chapel that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 15th century, with alterations made in the late 17th to early 18th centuries and additional changes later on. The building is constructed of rubble with a stone slate roof and originally had one storey, but now has two storeys with a partial rear outshut. It features three first-floor windows and has quoins at the corners.

Near the center of the front facade, there is a part-glazed four-panel door set in a quoined, slightly-chamfered ashlar surround, which has an inscription on the lintel reading "FAB". To the right of this door, there is another part-glazed four-panel door beneath a deep lintel. In the first bay, there is a 20th-century three-light casement window in a chamfered ashlar surround on the ground floor, and a 16-pane sash window on the first floor. The center features a small casement staircase window, while the third bay has a 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and another 16-pane sash window above. At the right end of the building, there is a projection where the 15th-century right return wall leans forward. There are stacks at the left end and between the second and third bays.

On the rear of the building, there is a ground-floor single-light window in a chamfered surround. The right return wall, which dates back to the 15th century, has quoins and features a pointed-arched window with two trefoiled lights, Perpendicular tracery above, and a hoodmould.

Inside, in the room to the left, there is an ashlar fireplace with a segmental-arched keyed lintel that has been incised to create a joggled effect, along with very large, square-section slightly-chamfered beams. In the room to the right, there is another ashlar fireplace with cyma reversa corbels supporting a slightly-arched lintel. A straight-flight stone staircase is located in the center, and a 15th-century window has splayed reveals and a round-arched lintel. The building is believed to have originally served as a chantry chapel for the canons of Coverham Abbey.
