Details Former chapel, now in commercial use, dated 1840 with some later alterations. It is a simple, rectangular, three-bay chapel building. The squared mixed rubble frontage has contrasting tooled sandstone dressings with some long and short detailing, and the gables are harled, each with a centre projecting harled porch with a piended roof. Three large round-headed windows light the street (south) and rear elevations, with simple Y-tracery and multi-pane glazing. Each gable has two oculi, that at the east surmounted by a datestone. The slate roof has a tiled ridge, and there are apex ball finials. The chapel building is enclosed by a simple coped rubble wall, and a pair of tooled rubble gatepiers flank each of the two pedestrian entrances, closed by simple cast-iron spearhead gates. The interior has been re-cast to the west. The communion table has a diagonal plank front and there is a door in the west wall, a plain plank dado and pine pews.
