Background
History
The chapel was founded in 1792 by Francis Cox. The charity holds its freehold dated 31 December 1986. Since the charity took it over, internal repairs have been carried out; the associated stables were conserved in 2005–06; and conservation work was done to the exterior in 2009–10.
Architecture
The chapel is constructed in colourwashed stone, and it has a tiled roof. At the rear is a brick chimney. On the front of the chapel facing the road is a central porch with a sash window on each side. At the rear there are two similar windows, and two more similar windows on both end walls at a higher level. The extension has a door and two casement windows. Inside the chapel are a gallery, benches and a pulpit, all of which are original, although the pulpit has been moved from its original position. In front of the pulpit is a baptismal pool for full immersion. Also in the chapel is a fireplace, and simple memorials, most of which are painted.
