Description
The Old Chapel is a single-cell chapel dating from the 19th century. It features battered walls made of rubble sandstone, which show traces of limewash, and has a pantile roof with a brick stack added to the left of the center. The south wall includes a Tudor-headed doorway on the left, framed with a stop-chamfer surround and a boarded door. In the center, there is a three-light window that has replaced round-headed lights, likely taking the place of earlier cusped lights. To the right, a segmental-headed priest's doorway has been blocked and converted into a window.
On the east wall, there is a pointed-arched horned sash window that was inserted in 1880, replacing an earlier narrower window. The north wall features a single one-light window set in a dressed stone surround. The west wall has a segmental-headed doorway from 1880, which includes a later half-lit door, and a small lancet window offset to the right below the apex, which has an inserted casement and previously housed the bell.
The roof is constructed with four bays supported by king posts and raking struts, dating from 1880. The interior has been converted for its current use.
