NHER 41738 (Building record) - The Old Chapel, The Street

Former chapel, now derelict and used as store.
South façade of yellow bricks, of three bays and three storeys of sash windows (including basement) now blocked up; they have incised ogee hoods. Pilasters define bays, having giant bases occupying the basement level. Former central doorway, presumably once approached by steps, now altered for vehicle access; seems to have had a pediment or overthrow; two pattress plates inserted here. Eaves level pediment to central bay bears date 1846. Side and rear elevations of clunch with red brick details; east side has two second floor windows and two basement windows, blocked; west side has the second floor windows alone; rear (north) wall has two basement windows and two full-height round-arched windows, all bricked up. Hipped roof. Right hand side of façade has, near base, a small stone block inscribed JC. To left, set upright across the space beside the building, is a tombstone to Mary Ann Cock died 1843 aged 18, with further names attached.
Interior not seen.
(S1) does not depict the chapel, showing instead a long north-south building; it appears on (S2) but not named as chapel; suggesting a short life span.
Very unusual type for Norfolk, more common in northern England and Wales.
(S3) refers to a neat Wesleyan Methodist chapel built in 1843 but at Whittington in the parish, the old chapel having been given to the Primitives. (S4) seems to have assumed that the former refers to this building, but it is certainly not in Whittington, and dates the Primitive chapel to 1871. (S2) does not mark a chapel in Whittington either; could (S3) be incorrect? Was the chapel erected as a memorial to Mary Ann Cock?
See (S5).
