Church house, also known as church house chamber. It is possibly of ancient origin, but was rebuilt or remodelled in the early 19th c. Of rubble masonry. The upper floor or chamber has on the south side a graduated triplet of three pointed and unmoulded windows, the middle light of which is filled with leaded lozenge panes and with a simple debased "tracery". On each side is a deep sunken cross. The ground floor is entered through a plain pointed doorway, on each side of which is a deep narrow niche rising from ground level and with a nearly pointed head. In the west wall is a single pointed window to the chamber. None of these openings has a moulded architrave. East is a lateral flight of stone steps to a pair of doorways, that at the top leads to a rear pentice of the full width of the building, and that on the left to the chamber. The roof is slated without chimneys. It is entirely in the churchyard. The ground floor has been used as a stable, the stalls remain. Curious two-storey example in a pseudo-gothic style. North of the churchyard (copeland).
