Introduction
This collection comprises images from a Level I survey of the former Methodist chapel in Farndale, North Yorkshire, which was undertaken by JB Archaeology Ltd in June 2021. The survey recorded the remains of a very modest, late 19th century chapel with a single main phase of extension. The chapel had been built from coursed local stone under a ceramic tile roof.
The original building consisted of single ground floor room with a slightly later extension to the east. The main body of the chapel was built in 1886 and the extension in 1888. The latter extension served as the Sunday School and toilet facilities.
The chapel is typical of Methodist chapels with very little in the way of decoration and what decoration there is, is very simple and plain in execution. The chapel served the local community for over 130 years until its closure in 2017 due to declining attendance.
The Level I photographic survey recorded the setting of the building along with the few decorative details that had been used in the chapel’s original construction.
