History
Built in 1875, this Methodist Chapel sits alone and isolated on the coast of an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Its history culminated in 2017 when planning permission was granted to revitalize and renovate the structure into a holiday unit, though with coronavirus' inimitable effect on the tourism industry, this plan has likely been delayed even further.
Regrettably the conjoined building - which was was feasibly for Sunday School - appeared sealed, though the Chapel alone made for some decent photos!
This was the only room in the building, still bedecked with the classic, prototypical chapel/church pews.
Upon the board lay the chapel diary which dated most recently to 1986.
The stained glass remained a prominent reminder of the ornate and opulent manner in which churches and chapels alike are decorated.
This piano, against the odds, worked almost punctiliously to play the notes it once would have done during ceremonious events.
Surprisingly it actually appears more dishevelled from the outside than it does on the inside.
The likely Sunday School building can be seen on the right.
