Full Description
PRN 25678
The first chapel was built in 1829 and rebuilt in 1842. It closed in 1985 and has since been used as a storehouse, though it now appears to be disused. A gabled building, at 68 London Road, is named the Old Chapel. This building is marked on the OS County map as a school and is presumably the school which was related to the Primitive Chapel. It is now in use as a house. The former chapel is built of red brick but covered in a thick render. The gabled roof has a covering of modern concrete tiles. The three-bay front has a raised gable with stone copings and kneelers, a central flat-headed doorway with paired panelled doors, and two tiers of sash windows with margin lights. The outer bays are recessed and have a dentil cornice. An oval stone tablet, set in the gable, has a date of 1842, though the rest of the tablet is obscured. The south elevation has no openings but the opposite side has two upper sash windows. The Sunday School to the south has a gabled roof with dentil brick verges, but has been refenestrated and much altered.{1}{2}{3}
