Presbyterian, later Unitarian Chapel built c.1700 and altered in 1846 to become primarily a school. The Chapel is a small square brick building with originally a stone roof, but now blue slate. The South East front has a central doorway with a large porch and two windows with segmentally arched heads. The North West wall has two altered windows that formerly flanked the pulpit, and South West windows were inserted in 1898. The galleries were removed in 1822 and much other alteration work was carried out when it was converted into a dwelling in 1985. There is also a graveyard (CHER 4428/1/0) that has had it's monuments removed.
