Nonconformist chapel, now small industrial unit. Dated 1839.
Flemish bond brickwork, cream stone dressings, some Portland
ashlar, slate roof.
PLAN: a small building compressed between later commercial
buildings, slightly set back from them; the front only
accessible.
EXTERIOR: a central raised section with pediment, and
pedimented porch, is brought forward from lower wings with
swept parapets. The centre has a stone panel with shield and
date (1839 or 1859), over small paired lights with moulded
stone arches on responds and a central mullion; the 2 outer
respond capitals and the keystones have been removed.
Below this is the projecting square porch in rusticated ashlar
which is carried also across the centre bay. A pair of
panelled doors has a drafted margin to the stonework, and the
closed pediment has an ovolo-mould cornice.
To each side is a large 12-pane sash with radial bars in
moulded stone arches with a keystone and respond capitals, but
brick jambs. A small plinth, a mid sill band, ovolo-mould
parapet and cornice, and bold V-joint rusticated stone quoins.
At either end are stone quadrant acroteria with carved
stylised leaf ornament.
INTERIOR: not inspected.
When built, the chapel was in the context of modest terrace
houses, which have either been removed or substantially
modified; its dignified frontage remains as a reminder of that
time. At time of survey the building appeared to be used as a
store.
