Summary

Methodist Chapel and Sunday School, Cross Lane

Full description

The Methodist chapel at Cross Lane was built in 1838. Another one was built in 1881 (61187) to replace it. In the early nineteenth century Methodist and Anglican services were held in a room adjoining the 'Harrows Inn' prior to the building of the village chapel and church. {1}

The site was visited in 2009. The Cross Lane chapel of 1838 included a Sunday School. It was superseded by the new chapel built in Chapel Lane in 1881. The earlier building survives and is now in use as a house. It is built of red brick and has a gabled roof with a slate covering and overhanging eaves. The side elevations were originally of three bays, divided by pilasters, though a further bay has been added at some time. There is dentil brickwork in the cornices and the whole building has been refenestrated.{2}{3}{4}
