Full Description

Orby Wesleyan Methodist Chapel was built in 1837 to seat 106. A schoolroom was added in 1870. The chapel closed in 1924 when a new chapel (PRN 48862) opened further west down Marsh Road. The building was subsequently converted into a house, 'The Hollies'. The building is red brick and has a hipped roof. The conversion of the building has changed it significantly, with the most conspicuous addition being that of several dormers. {1}{2}{3}
