History
Struggled to find much history on the building, despite its grade 2 listing and prominent location. The chapel was constructed in the late nineteenth century, replacing an earlier chapel in the village and designed in the gothic style. A church hall was added to the rear in the 1960s and the building was probably closed in the early 2000s. Several planning applications have been submitted to convert the building though so far nothing has come of these.
The Explore
Visited with prettyvacant. I’ve known about this place for a good few years now and it was great to finally see inside. The interior, with the exception of the organ is complete and filled with fine pitch-pine woodwork. Some furniture has recently been stored in the church hall, but little has changed since closure. Spent a couple of hours inside and really enjoyed photographing it, one of my favourite derelict churches I’ve visited.
Despite most of the windows recently being boarded up, there was still a decent bit of light inside
The entrance foyer
Looking back towards the entrance from the choir stalls
It was a great place for some 50mm shots
The attention to detail which went into these churches was incredible, especially when you consider how many were constructed. Sad to think this kind of craftsmanship will never go into buildings like this again.

The more modern church hall
Thanks for looking
