| source data:- | courtesy of English Heritage "Congregational chapel, now United Reformed church. Dated 1835 over doorway; altered. Roughly coursed sandstone rubble with quoins, stone slate roof. Rectangular plan on roughly east-west axis. Single vessel." "EXTERIOR: the gabled west front, which is symmetrical, has a round-headed doorway in the centre, with a plain surround including simple imposts and a keystone, a 4-panelled door and fanlight with Gothick glazing bars; a square datestone above the doorway, inscribed "ZION / CHAPEL / 1835"; and slightly above this a pair of short round-headed blind windows with rubble voussoirs and painted Gothick glazing bars. Roof of shallow pitch, with projecting purlins (probably rebuilt in later C19 or early C20); short gable chimney. (Overlapping the front right-hand corner is a low single-storey church room which is not of special interest.) The rear gable and both side walls all have 2 large round-headed windows with rubble voussoirs and Gothick glazing bars; and the north side and the rear each have added buttresses, strongly battered." "INTERIOR: pitch-pine fittings and furnishings including internal porch, dado, benches and raised minister's desk. Forms group with associated Congregational Manse to south-west (qv)." |
