House converted in early C20 from Calvinistic Methodist chapel of 1824. The chapel cost £230 and opened on Christmas Day 1824 and continued in use until the new chapel opened in 1885. A Sunday school established in the 1820s had 190 pupils by 1887 and may have continued here after 1885, and it is suggested that the chapel was used by the primary school across the road. The attractive roof lantern and other Arts and Crafts detail may date from a refurbishment for the Sunday school c. 1900, the new work being in a style suggestive of the architect F. Shayler of Oswestry whose Baptist chapel of 1900 had a similar lantern. The name derives from the surname of a late C20 owner.
House former chapel, green rubble stone with roof of small slates, outswept at eaves, and central cupola. One storey and attic to front.
