Building record 1126/0/10 - Building to the rear of The Old Manse

A small outbuilding which may incorporate elements of a former Baptist Chapel

{1} This small detached single storey red brick building is located at the southern end of the garden. The walls are red brick in an irregular bond and the roof is Welsh slate. There is a single entrance on the north side which has a concrete lintel; the door is a modern split stable style door. The single window also on the north side is a modern two light wooden casement also having a concrete lintel. There are two blocked openings on the building, both with segmental brick arches, a former doorway on the south side and one on the east elevation, which was likely to have been a window. It was not possible to trace the full extent of the blocking due to plant growth.

The interior of the building consists of a single room with a concrete floor and white painted brickwork walls. The roof is a simple timber truss and purlin. It is likely that this small building incorporates elements of the former Baptist chapel in its west, south and possibly east walls, otherwise the roof structure and the north elevation with its door and window are modern.
