Description: | A Wesleyan Methodist chapel was located on the High Street, Eagle, and is indicated on the 1905 County Series OS map. It appears to no longer exist. {1}
The site was visited in 2009. The chapel survives as a house. The attached annexe, which is probably contemporaneous with the chapel, is almost certainly a former school and has a date tablet of 1903. The former chapel has a gabled roof and is built of red brick with yellow gault brick and stone dressings. The three-bay gabled street front has a four-light Gothic traceried window with three roundels, yellow brick dressings and a stone hoodmould. The raised gable has stone copings and kneelers and decorative terracotta ridge tiles and a metal and a stone finial. A lunette is set in the gable. The lateral bays are defined by stepped buttresses with stone cappings and have lancet windows. The side elevations have four bays of paired pointed windows separated by stepped buttresses. The windows have leaded coloured glass. Original iron railings survive. The main doorway is pointed and the door has decorative iron hinges. It is positioned between the chapel and attached cruciform gabled school room which is also built of red brick with gault brick dressings. Documentary sources refer to a Wesleyan Chapel of 1841. It is unknown if this building was on the same site.{2}{3}{4} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1903 - 1990 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
