Description
Paran Chapel is a small building with a steep northern gable front, constructed in 1841 and marked with an arched plaque indicating the year 1877. The façade features two round-arched windows with small-paned glazing, positioned on either side of a central round-arched doorway. This doorway includes intersecting glazing bars in the fanlight and double doors. The side walls have two windows each, which are cambered-headed 12-pane windows adorned with stone voussoirs and keystones. The interior is plain and plastered, with a three-sided ceiling that is boarded in the horizontal section and includes a central rose. There are no fittings present. The overall condition of the chapel is fair to poor.
