Congregational Chapel

The Congregational Chapel in Fulwood, built around 1820, is now disused. It was funded by Thomas Welman of Poundisford Park. The building features a rendered exterior that mimics ashlar over a rubble and brick structure, with quoins and a plinth. It has a steeply pitched hipped slate roof behind a parapet, adorned with a moulded cornice on the facade and a brick dentil cornice on the sides. The chapel has a rectangular plan and is accessed from the west front, which has two storeys and two bays. The west front includes recessed semi-circular headed window openings that are boarded up, with flat surrounds and sills supported on console brackets. The ground floor showcases two wooden open pedimented Tuscan Doric doorcases with stone columns, leaded fanlights, and flush panelled double doors.

The north front has three bays, with semi-circular headed 8-pane sash windows on the first floor and 12-pane windows on the ground floor. The east end features two square-headed windows containing stained glass, flanking a chimney. There is an inserted doorway in the south-east corner of the south front, which leads to the former vestry, currently in the process of demolition as of March 1985. Although the interior was not seen, it is said to contain a timber-lined roof. The chapel was noted to be in poor condition at the time of the survey. According to the Annual Report of the Somerset Congregationalist Union from 1896, the congregation in Fulwood dates back to 1732, and Mr. Thomas Welman, who passed away in 1827, was a member of the Countess of Huntingdon's Connection.
