Wheal Busy Chapel, attached walls, gate piers and railings, Chacewater - Cornwall (UA)
Bible Christan Chapel, dated 1863. This is arguably the best surviving complete example of the simple type of wayside chapel in Cornwall and one of only six examples of its type to retain all the original fittings. The unusual and beautiful fittings are quite remarkable. Unfortunately the chapel is no longer used. The roof is in need of recovering, windows are in a poor state of repair and decoration, some internal rot in floor. New uses restricted due to very important fittings.
