The former Primitive Methodist Chapel, built in 1908, is now in use as a house. The original Skeldyke Primitive Methodist chapel (HER 13744) was built on another site in the village and is no longer extant. A church mission room was also built in Skeldyke in 1908 and may be associated with the Primitive chapel. It may be represented by an extant building in the village.The front elevation of the extant chapel has a raised gable with stone copings, kneelers and finial, and stepped clasping corner buttresses with stone copings and finials. There is a stone string course and stone window dressings with foliage stops in the spandrels. Dentil brick work is found in the gable cornices of both the main chapel and adjoining annexes, which have the same decorative features but with segmental-headed windows.Velux windows have been inserted into the chapel roof and an internal floor has also been inserted.The north and south elevations have 3 bays with tall pointed windows separated by buttresses with stone cappings. In place of a 4th bay are small lean-to annexes to north and south visually suggesting aisles from the front. A large gabled annexe with segmental headed windows adjoins the north wall. The possible mission room, on a different site in the village, is a single-storeyed building of red brick now also in use as a house.{1}{2}{3} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1908 - 1980 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
