3/8 Baptist Chapel

GV II

Chapel. Largely C18, extended c1815. The earliest fragment is probably early C18 and is a tiny single storeyed wing to the rear with two renewed 3-light casement windows. The later C18 part forms an L plan with an additional hipped roof projecting bay on the entrance front containing door in wood architrave and a 2-light casement to its right, a 4-light sash window with steeply arched head above, though this is a C19 insertion. 2-light casement windows with cambered heads in left hand bay of main range also. Moulded eaves cornice. Lean-to porch to right with round headed archway and behind that a canted end gable of the main range, which is a C19 addition, and has in each facet paired round headed windows, recessed with stained glass in leaded lights and chequerwork brick band above. The moulded eaves detail is repeated. The foundation of this chapel was in 1650.
