Brearton Chapel

Brearton Chapel is a chapel built in 1836 for Thomas Duncombe of Copgrove. It is constructed from magnesian limestone with gritstone dressings and has a purple slate roof. The building features a shallow plinth and consists of three bays, with the entrance located at the west gable end, above which is a bellcote. Access to the chapel is via four steps leading to paired two-panel doors set beneath an ogee door-head with a hoodmould. The central stonework projects slightly and extends upwards as a shallow pilaster to the gabled bellcote, which is topped with a crocketted finial.

On the north and south sides, there are three flat-headed windows with paired cusped lights, each under a square hoodmould, and a similar three-light window is found on the east side. The eaves cornice is chamfered, and the building features shaped kneelers and gable copings, along with a short corniced stack at the east end.

Inside, there are three steps down in the north-east corner leading to a partitioned-off vestry room that includes a small fireplace with a plain surround against the east wall. The reading desk and pulpit are located in the south-east corner, while a small octagonal font is found in the south-west corner. The roof is supported by four trusses, which display alternating plain and cusped timberwork. A wooden notice above the west door indicates that the chapel was built in 1836, originally accommodated 150 sittings, and that the minister was Aaron Manby, with Frances Reynard serving as the Chapel Warden.
