Description
19th century stone and brick former chapel now converted to dwelling. Prominently positioned close to the road edge towards the edge of the village/conservation area. Single storey with gabled tiled roof. The building retains its ecclesiastical characteristics with lancet windows to road elevation and small gabled porch to side. Key feature is the use of red bricks for quoins and to create decorative patterns within the stonework. An attractive example of a 19th century chapel and also locally important for its role as a former focus of religious activity within the village. A local note building within the conservation area of Bishopstone (B1).
