These photos were taken back in 2015 and I seem to have forgotten to post this small chapel which is one of the best kept ones around the area. The chapel was founded in 1834 and from what I have seen when driving past does have an active congregation who also keep the place maintained
The chapel is kept well maintained and the rendering and the extension on the side here look quite recent
The West side of the chapel, the East & North sides are close to the surrounding properties
The West side also has the small graveyard. A lot of the headstones here are quite old
the cemetery does not seem to be in use now though I did not have a lot of time to walk around the stones
The cemetery towards the high street
I will leave you with this view of the cemetery and two of the older headstones the near one is of the Gibson Family children the second one has succumb to erosion over the years.
Have a wonderful weekend
...Bill unlike many that you have shown in the past. The view of the village buildings is a nice addition, something that I'd like to see for myself.
ReplyDeleteWell, it's still better to see gravestones decaying naturally than to see them hurt by vandals.
ReplyDeleteIt is a well-kept chapel, very nice.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely wee church, it always amazes me to see so few gravestones in a church yard, there must be a few churches around this area then Bill?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to know that this chapel is still used for worship meetings and consequently is well maintained. Interesting to see the surrounding houses.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week Bill.
It's lovely, but it does have such tiny windows!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots
ReplyDeleteSweet chapel! Not as fancy as most you have shown but it has grace and dignity.
