What is recorded here

Attached Roman Catholic chapel, built c. 1900, comprising nine bay side elevations, with central gabled entrance porch to south elevation, and chancel with triple windows to east, flanked by gable-fronted two-bay sacristy and two-bay side chapel. Pitched slate roofs with rendered cross finials and ornate coping stones. Coursed rubble sandstone masonry walls with plinth course and brick quoins. Lancet stained glass windows with rendered block-and-start surrounds. Pointed arch opening having timber battened door with cast-iron strap hinges and brick surround to gable front and sacristy, south elevation. South porch having pointed arch opening, with brick surround and timber battened double doors with cast-iron strap hinges. Recent ramp to porch entrance.
This chapel is of social importance due to its relationship to St Raphael's. Its sandstone walls with brick dressings add colour and texture to the structure. Its form and small scale is appropriate to the site.
