The chapel is constructed of rubble masonry imbued with endearing simplicity, and most of the fabric must date from the 12th century. The west wall is broken by a string course and an 18th century window which, like the chancel east window and nave south window of the same period is slightly pointed in form. Each wall of the nave is buttressed at three points, the buttressing probably having been added at the end of the 18th century.
Building is closed for worship
Ground plan:
Nave and chancel, with a bell-cote above the chancel at its juncture with the nave.
The building is mainly 12th century, with 18th century alterations and additions that are particularly noticeable in the windows and doorway.
The chapel is constructed of rubble masonry imbued with endearing simplicity, and most of the fabric must date from the 12th century. The west wall is broken by a string course and an 18th century window which, like the chancel east window and nave south window of the same period is slightly pointed in form. Each wall of the nave is buttressed at three points, the buttressing probably having been added at the end of the 18th century. The south side contains a simple doorway with an old, iron-ribbed lantern above it; and, to the east of the doorway, a drop arched window. The north wall has two windows. The chancel is buttressed each side at the cast end. An original 12th or 13th century window is set in the north -chancel wall: the.south wall has no windows. The chancel's east end, however, contains another late 18th century window. The small, white, plastered bell turret is set over the west end of the chancel. Its low pyramidical cap is of mellowed tiling, like the roofs of both chancel and nave. On the east gable is a 14th century stone cross.
Inside the church is furnished handsomely, though plainly, with Georgian box-pews, pulpit and Communion table. The white plastered walls contrast strongly with the dark wood of the furnishings. The most striking architectural feature of the interior is the chancel arch. The jamb shafts have scalloped, cushion capitals and support a low arch. Through it can be seen the low beams of the braced collar-beam chancel roof. The windows, all of plain glass, shed clear light on the worn flagstones of.chancel and nave. While appearing austere, the chapel is a fine and unspoiled example of mellowed country craftsmanship.
Altar
The altar is made of wood with a marble top.
Chair
c. 17th - 18th Century
A solid, carved oak Sanctuary chair is set to the side of the altar. It would appear to be 17th or 18th century.
Rail
18th Century
Plain altar rails.
Pew (object)
18th Century
The pews are uncommonly high and of the typically 18th century box—type.
Pulpit
Solid pulpit, with a wooden tester set into the wall above it and a reading desk next to it.
Font (object)
c. 1760
Octagonal in shape, it would appear to be pof stone and plaster and probably dates from c. 1760.
