GV II

Congregational chapel, now shop and workshop. 1815, with C20
alteration. Front of painted stucco, rusticated on ground
floor, on stone plinth; rear of pink and cream mottled brick
in Flemish bond; painted stone dressings; hipped slate roof
with right end brick stack.
Originally a galleried hall with chancel to south, and lobbies
at each end; vestry attached to rear. 2-storey 5-bay front,
the 3 centre bays breaking forward slightly between giant
Ionic pilasters with plain entablature and pediment. Outer
bays have square-arched door architraves with massive tripled
keystones, the centre stone vermiculated, containing recessed
double doors of sunk panelling.
Ground-floor windows in centre bays are C20 plate glass shop
windows in unaltered openings with cambered heads. First-floor
windows are of 2 rounded "Gothick"-glazed lights in
round-arched architraves. Raised first-floor band, and moulded
cornices to eaves and pediment. Rear: One original
ground-floor window survives, with margin-glazed lights and
cambered head. Windows on first floor repeat those on front.
INTERIOR: at the north end, the area under the gallery, heated
by a boiler, was capable of being partitioned off from the
main chapel by means of sliding screens, probably for the
Sunday School. 2 gallery staircases survive in lobby to right,
with turned balusters and moulded, ramped-up handrails.
Original gallery floor incorporated into flooring of upper
storey c1980. Coffered ceiling survives, without decoration,
together with small domed lantern in centre.
