Description

No. 53 on Ham Hill Road is a house that was formerly a chapel, dated 1842. It is built of Ham stone coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and features a double Roman clay tiled roof with stepped coped gables and a brick chimney stack. The building has two storeys and consists of two sets of two bays.

The east elevation displays semi-circular arched windows with plain ashlar surrounds on the upper level, although the window in the second bay is now blocked. Below these, there is a 20th-century casement window in the first bay and a blank second bay. Between the bays, there is a semi-circular arched doorway with a 20th-century boarded door, above which is a plaque that reads 'Bible Christi Chapel MDCCCXLII'.

On the north elevation, there are three-light plain mullioned windows, with the upper window featuring segmental pointed ashlar relieving arches. An additional 20th-century window has been inserted in the lower left. The group of Bible Christians, who founded the chapel known as Zion in 1826, used it until about 1882. The date when it was converted into a house is not known.
