Chapel Of Ease

The Chapel of Ease was built in 1770 and underwent refenestration in the late 19th century. It is constructed of coursed squared stone with ashlar dressings and features a graduated Westmorland slate roof. The building consists of a nave with a south porch and a chancel. The nave has four bays, expressed as three, with a gabled porch located to the left of the center. This porch has a basket arch and an inner doorway with a chamfered, square-headed surround leading to a boarded door. The first bay contains a cusped, square-headed single-light window, while to the right of the porch is a similar two-light window adjacent to a sundial without a gnomon. The gables have copings, and there is an offset bellcote at the west end, which features a cornice and gable. The chancel includes a single-light window on the south side and a cusped pointed-arched window on the east side, along with a small opening in the gable beneath ashlar copings topped with a cross. Inside, the chapel has 18th-century fielded-panel pews and fragments of early glass in the nave windows.
