Chapel. 1816, altered 1851. Red and blue chequered brick with slate hung rear addition. Slate roof. Simple Neo-Classical style rectangular chapel with 2 storey rear wing, the main elevation with pedimented gable containing gauged brick roundel and gauged round headed windows either side of central panelled double doors with traceried segmental fan and flat hood on brackets. Side elevations with brick dentil eaves cornice and single tall window opening. All windows with late C20 top bung casements (replacing sashes). Rear wing with sash windows and end stack. The upper courses of the chapel show signs of the 1851 alterations, the rear wing entirely of this date (although Homan, Victorian Churches of Kent, says the chapel was rebuilt 1851). Walled forecourt to east of chapel, c.1851 walls about 4 feet in height of red brick in English bond on sandstone base with coping stones and slight piers to corners and to central gate, itself with simple iron uprights. The right return side of the forecourt formed by the gates and walls to Murlingden, item no. 8/261 built c.1841 and predating the forecourt walls.
