Former Baptist Chapel, largely rebuilt in 1821. The south west of the building has a central entrance which is in-between tall sash windows with external shutters. There are two small gallery windows above a circular tablet with the date 1821 inscribed. The south east wall is timber framed and may be a survival from the earlier meeting house.
This chapel is reported to have been converted into a house in 1971.
