Description
Zion Chapel is a Congregational chapel, now functioning as a United Reformed church, which was built in 1835, as indicated by the date above the doorway. The building is constructed from roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins and features a stone slate roof. It has a rectangular plan oriented roughly east-west and consists of a single vessel.
On the exterior, the gabled west front is symmetrical and includes a round-headed doorway at the center. This doorway has a plain surround with simple imposts and a keystone, and it is fitted with a four-panelled door and a fanlight that features Gothick glazing bars. Above the doorway is a square datestone inscribed with "ZION / CHAPEL / 1835," and slightly above this are a pair of short round-headed blind windows with rubble voussoirs and painted Gothick glazing bars. The roof has a shallow pitch and projecting purlins, which were likely rebuilt in the late 19th or early 20th century, and there is a short chimney at the gable. Overlapping the front right-hand corner is a low single-storey church room that is not of special interest. The rear gable and both side walls feature two large round-headed windows with rubble voussoirs and Gothick glazing bars, and the north side and the rear have added buttresses that are strongly battered.
Inside, the chapel contains pitch-pine fittings and furnishings, including an internal porch, dado, benches, and a raised minister's desk. The chapel forms a group with the associated Congregational Manse located to the southwest.
