Background
History
The chapel was established by a congregation that emerged from the Great Ejection of 1662, when nonconforming ministers were expelled from the Church of England. One such minister, John Lever, initially preached at Cockey Chapel before the congregation built the current chapel in 1715. It was enlarged in 1773 and altered in 1845, when the entrance was moved from the south side to the east wall.
Architecture
The building has a domestic appearance, constructed in a rectangular plan with two tiers of three-light chamfered mullioned windows. The pediment above the doorway bears the inscription: "Erected AD 1715. Enlarged 1773. Altered and repaired 1845".
