The chapel was visited in 2010. It is now in use as a Newfrontiers church. It was built as a Primitive Methodist Chapel in 1903 and is constructed of red brick with a half-hipped roof with a slate covering and ornamental terracotta ridge copings. The three-bay front has a raised gable, with stone copings and kneelers, and a heightened central bay with a metal finial at the apex. The large central three-light window, which is slightly recessed, has circular plate tracery and a stained glass window, depicting Christ as shepherd, and a hoodmould with stops. Flanking it are plain lancet windows with leaded glass. The windows arches are framed by a broad stone band which continues as a string-course and there are ashlar string-courses at cill level and in the gable. An ornate ashlar tablet is set within the gable and inscribed "PRIMITIVE METHODIST 1903". The side elevations have four bays. The south elevation has a gabled porch in the first bay and three further bays of pointed windows with saddle bars, intersecting glazing bars and ashlar dressinga in the arches. The north elevation has three pointed windows and a blank bay to the rear. There are several foundation stones including one giving the name of the architects as Kerridge and Sons and the builders as E.E. Girling and Co. Alongside is a school built of red brick with gault brick dressings and a gabled roof with slate covering. The front has a pedimental raised gable with dentil gault brick and broad bands of gault brick. The tablet in the recessed gable is inscribed "BRITISH SCHOOL" but the date is eroded and unclear. The front is divided into three bays by pilasters which have bands of gault brick. The central bay has a gabled porch and the pointed openings have polychrome heads of red and yellow brick.{2}{3}{4} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1903 - 2000 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
