Full description

The Bible Christian magazine of 1851 recorded a Bible Christian chapel at the junction with Porthcollum lane (1), however, the c1840 Tithe survey records it as a dwelling house (TA1324) (2). A building is recorded on historic Ordnance Survey maps at this location but it is not named as a chapel so was presumably not used for religious purposes by this time (3-4) . Appleby records that there are no extant remains (5), however, modern mapping shows that the current hedgeline incorporates part of the building (6).
