Description
This is a Congregational chapel dating from 1821, originally converted from an 18th-century barn. The chapel is constructed of brick with some vitreous headers, a plain plinth, and moulded brick eaves, topped by an old tile roof. The north front features three windows with pointed arched heads and wooden bars, along with blocked ventilation slits. A fine wooden porch with an entablature hood supported on slender Doric columns and pilasters sits between the left-hand windows, sheltering double-panelled doors. The west end has two similar pointed windows and a blocked rectangular window above. The east end has been altered; it now features wide double doors with a barred rectangular fanlight and a wooden lintel, a small 20th-century casement to the right, and a three-light casement above with leaded outer panes. A Royal Exchange fire insurance plaque is situated above the upper window. A small outhouse attached to the southeast corner is not of special architectural interest. Inside, original fittings remain, including a gallery supported by slender wooden Doric columns at the east end.
