Description
The Old Chapel is a flat with a vaulted basement, dating from the 18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with a slate roof. The basement has an upper storey. The upper floor features two four-pane sash windows with 20th-century concealed flat lintels; the right-hand window is smaller. The basement has a battered base and rough stone steps leading to a crude segmental-pointed doorway, the head of which sits just above the top of the battered base. On the east side, there are two small four-pane sashes with 20th-century lintels, and a basement-level segmental-pointed window with stone voussoirs. Set back on a slope to the right is a rear range connecting to the rear wing of number 67 Main Street, featuring a door to a rear chamber. Modern steps lead to a door on the north wall of the front range, and a flight of eleven external stone steps descends to the entrance level of the vaulted basement.
The basement chamber has a plain stone vaulted roof with stone bars and a slate floor. A thick south front wall features stone voussoirs, both inside the entrance and to a small niche on the left. The east end has a tall, cambered arched opening with stone voussoirs and splayed reveals, incorporating a deep seat in the east wall. A large chimney breast dominates the west end wall above a rendered 19th-century round mash tun with a fire opening in its base; a small rectangular window is located to the right. An arched opening in the north wall leads to a north chamber with a modern flat boarded ceiling. At the rear of the entrance is a large segmental-pointed arch that shares the right jamb with the main entrance but rises higher and extends further to the left, the left jamb descending to a stone shelf running back to the left jamb of the entrance. A square-headed recess is located to the left.
