Full Description
PRN 25608
This is a building identified as of historical interest by the South Holland District Council Local List. It is a good example of this style of building of this period and survives with only a few changes to its original construction. There is no further information available at this time. {1}
Alongside the 1903 Methodist Chapel is a school built of red brick with gault brick dressings and a gabled roof with slate covering. The front has a pedimental raised gable with dentil gault brick and broad bands of gault brick. The tablet in the recessed gable is inscribed 'BRITISH SCHOOL' but the date is eroded and unclear. The front is divided into three bays by pilasters which have bands of gault brick. The central bay has a gabled porch and the pointed openings have polychrome heads of red and yellow brick. {2}
The chapel and school are on the 1888 County Series map and so probably date to the mid nineteenth century. There is reference to a Sunday Scholars in 1851 and so the school may date from the building of the chapel in 1843. The date of 1903 on the chapel probably indicates rebuilding of the chapel and school at this date. {3}{4}{5}
