The chapel was founded in 1792 by Francis Cox.[2] A porch on the front of the chapel and an extension on the right side were added in the 19th century.[1] It continued in use until it closed in 1976. It then came under the care of the charity the Friends of Friendless Churches.[4] The charity holds its freehold dated 31 December 1986.[5] 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.[2]
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.[1] 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.[2]
