Tagged with: Chapel
Quirt was once a grange of Aberconwy, and this part of the complex was the chapel. The plan of the original building has been much altered and obscured by later alterations but there are 2 datestones on the chapel walls (thought to have been interchanged in the early C20), one bearing the date and initials 1656 / W / TM, the other 1706 / W / TM. The RCAHM Inventory noted closely spaced, arch-braced roof trusses, probably C15, these have been removed and the segmental wood vaulted ceiling of the previous listing description replaced in the 1950s. A chancel floor was inserted in the C17.
The chapel now forms part of a linear range; the 2-storey with attics farmhouse to the left (SW) and the cartshed/granary to the right (NE). The remains of the chapel have now been incorporated into the farmhouse accommodation, with kitchen on the ground floor (lean-to extension to rear) and bedroom above. Built of rubble masonry with a modern slate roof (lean-to with brick dressings). The front (SE) elevation has mixed and scattered fenestration; the ground floor has a small, small-paned window to the right (NE) and a larger, top-hung casement to the left (SW), the 1st floor has a 4-pane casement window in a raking half dormer to the left (NW) end. The rear (NW) elevation has small-paned ground floor sash windows, and a small 4-pane casement window in a raking half-dormer at the left (NE) end of the 1st floor; entry is through a modern doorway in the lean-to. There is a stone set into the NE gable apex (now in the granary), with date and initials 1706 / W / TM.
