Description: | 63006
A chapel is indicated on the Ordnance Survey County Series 1:2500 map of 1905. The building appears to survive. This may be the Baptist chapel and burial ground which was recorded in 1856. {1}{2}
The site was visited in 2009. The chapel on High Street is a former Wesleyan Chapel built in 1863 (the former Baptist Chapel is on Broughton Road (PRN 63005)). It is now in use as a house. The first Wesleyan place of worship was a Wesleyan Methodist Meeting House which was part of a house. The former chapel is built of red brick with ashlar dressings. It has a gabled roof with a slate covering. The gabled front has two tiers of flat-headed windows with ashlar lintels and sills. There are three windows in the lower tier and two in the upper tier with an ashlar tablet between inscribed Wesleyan Chapel MDCCCLXIII. Side elevations originally of three bays but a further bay has been added later to the west with a separate doorway. The south elevation has a flat-headed doorway between two flat-headed windows and there are two flat-headed windows in the north elevation. The easternmost windows are now blocked. The window frames have been replaced with upvc and velux windows have been inserted into the roof.{3}{4} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1800 - 1970 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
