Description: | 62294
This is one of three methodist chapels in Martin. It is a Primitive Methodist Chapel, built in 1837. The chapel, originally of a single storey, had a broad front of three bays facing the lane. Above the blocked central doorway is a tablet dated 1837. The building was heightened in the mid nineteenth century and converted into a house after 1879. The Primitive Methodist Chapel on High Street (see 62285) was built to supercede this chapel. {1}{2}{3}{4}{5}{6}
The site was visited in 2009. The building may have been a cart shed originally before becoming a chapel in 1837 (personal communication). The two segmental-headed windows flanking the original blocked doorway were originally taller or higher. When the chapel was heightened it was given a pedimented raised gable with stone copings and kneelers and a new stone tablet "Primitive Chapel 1858". There were two round-arched windows at the upper level of the opposing elevation. It has a half-hipped roof with a pantile covering. The eaves course has dogtooth brickwork.
There was a Primitive Methodist presence in Martin from 1829.{7}{8}{9} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1837 - 1879 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
