Presbyterian Chapel, Including Forecourt Walls and Railings

Small former extra-parochial church; of local rubble construction with shallow slate roof with deep eaves. Short nave and square-headed choir, with advanced W tower in the centre of the front. The tower is of 3 stages and has a Celtic-type stone pyramidal roof; arched entrance to the ground floor stage, with simple 4-light radial fan and boarded door with modern ironwork. The second stage of the tower has a squat rectangular light with a modern clock face above (1996). A plain string course defines the upper stage. This has a large arched window with horizontal slatting. The nave W ends, flanking the tower, have arched windows with 4-pane glazing and fans as before; semi-circular lights above.

The side walls are of 3 bays and have arched windows as before. Each side has a blocked Tudor-arched entrance at both the E and W end. The E end has a large canted bay window with hipped roof and arched 3-light Y-tracery window; leaded lights with marginal glazing, obscured, plain glass elsewhere.

In front of the chapel is a long rectangular forecourt. This has tall coped rubble side walls terminating at the front in octagonal piers of squared, coursed stone; shallow conical capping. The front has a low coped wall of similar stone with surmounting spear-headed railings and simple central gates.

Plain interior with depressed segmentally-vaulted plaster ceiling and parquet floor; boarded dado panelling of pine (replaced on th S side). W inner porch of pine with blind trefoil and quatrefoil decoration and a 3-light central window with obscured glass; 6-panel doors to the L and R returns, the upper 4 glazed. W doors to R and L of this porch, that to the L with Gothic doors having segmental head and arched and quatrefoil panels; similar, square headed door to the R. Open Gothic railings of oak at the E end defining a raised Deacon's Enclosure; trefoil-headed arcading with square flanking newels. Unfixed Deacon's chair and reading desk to the L; simple Gothic style, in oak. The tower (serving as an entrance porch) has pine dado panelling and simple black/red tiled pavement.
