The Old Chapel And Two Cottages Adjoining To East

The Old Chapel and two cottages adjoining to the east is a building that dates back to around 1400. Originally a chapel of ease, it later became a Particular Baptist Church with an attached manse. The structure has since been converted into three dwellings. Significant alterations occurred in 1836, likely when the second cottage was added, and the church was converted into a dwelling in the late 20th century.

The building is constructed from random rubble local stone, with brick voussoirs and keystones around the church openings. The original building features quoins, while later quoins separate the church from the manse. It has a slate roof with coped verges on the original section and a shallower pitch double Roman tile roof with coped verges on the addition. Late 19th-century brick stacks are located at the right gable ends, and there is a finial on the left gable end.

The south front has two storeys and is arranged in a 3:1:1 bay configuration. It features full-height semi-circular-headed windows with divided wooden tracery and external shutters, flanking a former double doorway that now has a wooden door and sidelight with a banded Ham stone and limestone architrave. To the right, there are three-light casements on the first floor, and on the ground floor, a six-panel door with moulded surrounds and inset lights, along with a flat-roofed porch with a cambered head opening. There is also a three-light window to the right and another six-panel door with inset lights at the junction of the church and the addition, which has a flat-roofed trellis porch with a three-light window.

On the left return (west gable end), there is a blocked square opening in the gable end, a semi-circular-headed window with a brick surround and keystone that cuts the top of a medieval lancet opening, and wooden lintels above double doors with six panels and moulded surrounds. The interiors have not been seen.
