dated 1658; Chapel rebuilt circa 1880. Plastered cob on exposed rubble footings
with some C19 brick; pantile roof. Long gable-ended building facing south with
simple rectangular plan. Door at west end of south front behind gabled porch of
open timber-framed construction on low plastered walls. 5 window front comprising
4 high timber framed windows to nave and small window to chancel. The 2 western
nave windows have 3 lights and central transom, the others are 2-light. All have

with the date 1658, and first floor hooded fireplace with chamfered oak lintel and
unusual lozenge stops is now high on west wall above disused floor beam (chamfered
with scroll stops). The high flat ceiling may hide some C17 trusses but only 5 C19

similar to contemporary work in Church of St Mary the Virgin, Cheriton Bishop

the same local craftsman. The original oil lamps remain but are converted to
electricity.
