Abstract: |
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Francis W. Keyworth Architects to undertake a programme of historic building inspection and recording of the former Independent Congregational Chapel, Chapel Road, Wymondham, Leicestershire. Planning permission is being sought to re-develop the site for residential use. The proposed re-development will require the demolition of the Chapel. The Chapel was built in 1840 and remained in use until 1959, serving the independent congregational community of Wymondham. As with most nonconformist chapels, the Old Chapel is simple in appearance but does include a number of flourishes. To the south of the Chapel house is a lean-to range, most likely the school room. Internally, the Chapel has suffered considerable neglect, leaving little of architectural or historical interest. The archive for the archaeological work will be held by Leicestershire County Council, under the museums accession number X.A146.2011. |
