Full Description
61932
A Wesleyan chapel is mentioned in White's Directory, which may be the same as the one indicated on the 1905 County Series, which appears to be extant (2001). {1}{2}
A site visit in April 2004 confirmed the survival of the chapel. {3}
The site was visited in 2009. The present chapel and Sunday School were built in 1903 to replace a chapel of 1835 which was destroyed in a fire. It has a broad five-bay front, with a central gabled porch between pointed windows with yellow gault brick dressings, and gault brick string-courses. The bays are divided by stepped buttresses with stone cappings and the eaves cornice has dogtooth brickwork. The slate roof has ornamental ridge copings. The main gable has a raised central section, stone copings and a metal finial at the apex and a stepped lancet window of three lancets under a pointed arch with blind quatrefoil tracery at the base. The stepped buttresses have stone cappings and there is a stepped string-course of yellow gault brick. The attached gabled annexe to the south has been altered but has a large segmental-headed south window with leaded coloured glass and probably represents the Sunday School.{4}{5}{6}
