FULL DESCRIPTION. LISTED GRADE II (B4).
The chapel stands on an isolated roadside site within a rectangular walled burial-ground. The walls are of flint rubble with brick dressings and some later rendering and the hipped roof is covered with tiles. A lower vestry was built at the SW end in the early 19th century and towards the end of that century a small porch was built over the main entrance and the interior partly rearranged. The NW front has a doorway between two plain sash windows, the sashes ere and elsewhere probably superseding leaded casements which still survive in the vestry although lacking their external shutters. The rear wall has two closely-set windows which flank the original site of the pulpit, and high in each end wall is a window to light a gallery (B5).
