Abstract: |
An archaeological standing building survey of The Old Chapel, Showsley Road, Shutlanger, Northamptonshire (SP 72609 49849), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Mr R. Taylor in advance of the proposed re-development of the Chapel for residential use. The Chapel was built in 1844 as a Wesleyan Methodist Chapel and remained in use until 1985. The Chapel was extended in 1889 with seating for a congregation of 160; the extension was also used as a School room. As with most nonconformist chapels, the Chapel is simple in appearance with only very simple flourishes such as a coloured fanlight above the door. Documentary sources indicate extensive and prolonged problems with the extension culminating in its partial demolition in 1949. The Chapel remained in use throughout the remainder of the 20th century and even welcomed the Wesleyans from Stoke Bruerne upon the closure of their Chapel in 1975. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2012- OCSN until deposition with Northamptonshire County Council can be arranged. |
