The chancel, arch of the original building, which is
chamfered and pointed, survives. As a chapel which was
Nonconformist before 1660, and preserves an excellent set of
furnishings which were complete by a century later, this
chapel is of the highest importance. North and south
galleries are C17 and connecting one is C18.
