Description
Capel Quirt is a chapel that has been incorporated into a linear range of buildings, which includes a two-storey farmhouse with attics on the left (southwest) and a cartshed/granary on the right (northeast). The chapel's remains are now part of the farmhouse, featuring a kitchen on the ground floor, which has a lean-to extension at the rear, and a bedroom above. The structure is built of rubble masonry and has a modern slate roof, with brick dressings on the lean-to.
The front (southeast) elevation displays a mix of window styles. On the ground floor, there is a small, small-paned window to the right (northeast) and a larger, top-hung casement window to the left (southwest). The first floor features a 4-pane casement window in a raking half dormer at the left (northwest) end. The rear (northwest) elevation has small-paned sash windows on the ground floor and a small 4-pane casement window in a raking half-dormer at the left (northeast) end of the first floor. Access is through a modern doorway in the lean-to.
Notably, there is a stone set into the northeast gable apex, now located in the granary, which bears the date and initials 1706 / W / TM. Additionally, there is another stone in the same gable apex with the date and initials 1656 / W / TM. A segmental wood vaulted ceiling that was mentioned in an earlier description of the chapel no longer survives.
