Background
History
In 1712 a group of dissenters, who had been meeting in local farmhouses, acquired this building. At that time it consisted of a contiguous barn and cottage. The barn was converted into a meeting place for the worshippers. The early trustees were prominent Baptists. In 1813 the building was divided into two, the west part becoming a cottage for the minister and the east end continuing as the chapel.
Architecture
The interior of the chapel measures 24 ft by 15 ft. The roof is supported by two central posts. At the east end is a gallery. All the furniture is original. The pulpit is in the middle of the dividing wall facing the gallery.
