Description
March 2018. Heritage assessment.
The site is currently a disused Methodist Chapel, constructed in 1854. The building is significant for it's typical Wesleyan architecture of the late 19th century, with its simple design ethos, size and construction details. These chapels started appearing throughout England from the 1730s.
The chapel consists of three main sections: the main, large brick constructed chapel, a smaller rendered large room and a small single storey modern addition. The main chapel has large leaded light windows, with the large room having similar windows with clear glazing. The site is set back from the main road, with a small parking area off the small access track (Cherry Lane).
The building is set to be converted to a two bedroom dwelling. <1>
