6/52 Trevett Memorial Chapel -
GV II
Former Bible Christian Chapel, in use as a store at time of survey (1987). 1892, closed 1933 when the congregation amalgamated with the ex-Wesleyans (Thorn). Red brick with a slate roof, gabled at ends. Decorated Gothic style. Plan: Rectangular on plan, 2-bays long. Exterior: Well preserved. The north end is the entrance elevation with a 2-leaf plank door with elaborate hinges below a trefoil-headed fanlight. 2-light windows to left and right with cusped lights and head tracery with a round cusped window in the gable. Foundation stones are inscribed with names, presumably those who contributed to the costs of the building. 2 windows on the east side are similar to the traceried windows on the north end, west side not seen at time of survey. Interior: Not inspected but appears to retain its original Gothic Revival roof. The Bible Christian church was founded in Devon by William O'Bryan (1778-1868) to evangelise rural communities which he considered to be largely "untouched by the ministrations of conventional Christianity" (Thorne). Chapels were stylistically varied but in purpose-built chapels fairly simple Gothic detail continued to be used late into the C19 century and beyond.
