Description

Built 1830, front bay 1883 (B1).
A small date stone in the apex of the gable fronting Chapel Lane states that the building was constructed in 1830. The chapel sits slightly back from the road edge behind a low brick wall and metal railings. It is constructed of red brick with grey brick quoins and window and door surrounds. The steeply pitched gable roof is slated and the round-headed wooden sash windows are original. To the left of the Chapel, but forming part of the same building is the Sunday School. Positioned slightly forward of the Chapel, it is constructed of brick and timber and is orientated to face gable on-to the road. The brick boundary wall to the south-east of the Sunday School has been partially demolished revealing uninterrupted views of the building with its two large wooden sash windows and simple doorway. This building provides an attractive foreground to views looking westwards from Chapel Lane towards Church End, Kingsland Farm House and the Baptist Chapel. The open fields to the south-east of the building contribute to its setting. A local building of note within the Conservation Area (B2).
