Chapel, now used as farm outbuilding. Probably C16. Unrendered stone rubble. Slate
roof with gable ends and sections of moulded timber cornice surviving to each side.
Small rectangular plan chapel with doorway on north side and partially blocked window
opening on south side. East and west ends are blind.
Roof: waggon roof survives largely intact, formerly ceiled but only some laths
survive. 3 trusses one at each end and one central, which have straight principals
resting on timber wall plate with staggered purlins and lapped cambered collars
supported on short elbowed struts also lapped to the sides of the principals, the
resulting barrel construction carrying the longitudinal ribs, most of which survive.
This is a rare surviving example of a chapel attached to an isolated barton
farmhouse.
