Chapel to Ingmire Hall Estate; now maintained by Redundant
Churches Fund. Built 1850 as a Mission Chapel; altered and
enlarged in 1907. Mixed random rubble with red sandstone
quoins, graduated slate roof with wooden and glazed lantern;
re-built gabled front and added porch of snecked rubble with
yellow sandstone dressings and quoins.
PLAN: small nave on north-south axis with north porch, south
chancel built as crosswing (i.e as one vessel with short
transepts).
EXTERIOR: the porch, dated 1907, has a small rectangular
window to the front, a lettered memorial plaque above this
(commemorating Florence Ann Upton Cottrell Dormer, d.1907), a
coped gable parapet with kneelers, and a doorway in its west
side with a gablet containing the Ingmire Hall cross. The main
gable has an ashlar bellcote clasped by coped gable parapets
with kneelers. The west side wall has 3 rectangular 1-light
windows with raised plain surrounds, and the gable of the wing
at the south end has a gabled extension to the centre, a
similar window either side and another above. The roof has a
long low lantern (its eaves at the level of the ridge), with 5
segmental-headed lights and oversailing bracketed eaves to a
swept hipped roof. (East side, abutting adjoining cottage, has
no windows.)
INTERIOR: panelled dado, chancel pews with carved ends and
windows with wooden architraves and elaborate stained glass,
mostly showing some Art Nouveau influence.
