What is recorded here

Remains of detached three-bay single-storey single-cell Catholic chapel, c.1750. In ruins, pre-1840. Pitched roof now gone. Random rubble stone walls mostly collapsed. Profile of openings no longer discernible. Set back from road in own enclosure with random rubble stone boundary wall to perimeter of site having unpainted rendered piers, and iron gate. (ii) Graveyard to site with various cut-stone markers, pre-1840.
Having fallen into ruins following a prolonged period of disuse the remains of a small-scale church survive as an important element of the architectural heritage on account of the status as one of the earliest-surviving ecclesiastical sites in the locality. Forming a picturesque landmark in a self-contained enclosure the setting value of the church benefits from an attendant graveyard containing a collection of markers of artistic design importance displaying high quality traditional stone masonry.
