II
Anglican chapel (disused). Probably C13 or C14. Local grey
limestone rubble with some red sandstone dressings; stone
slate roof.
PLAN: Small aisleless chapel, spectacularly sited above the
sheer side of Chapel Hill. Doorway on south side.
EXTERIOR: Very plain. The east end has a segmental-headed
window opening (unglazed). One slit window on the south side,
which has a segmental-headed arched doorway with red sandstone
voussoirs and the stub walls of a former porch. North side
windowless. West end wall thicker to the bottom with a slit
window in the gable end wall. Impressively massive stone slate
roof.
INTERIOR: The floor is uneven bedrock. Stone pointed-barrel
vaulted roof.
A medieval chapel about which little is recorded. Suggested
date tentative. Unusual roof construction for the region. The
interior was scaffolded at time of survey.
