Abstract:		 Ringshall Free Church, c.1860, was made redundant in 2006. It is a red-brick single-roomed chapel with a slate roof. The site is shown as an empty, isolated field on the tithe map of 1838. The present building is marked 'Baptist Chapel (general) on the OS map of 1886, and is shown with a small group of adjacent cottages. The original church, aligned at right angles to the road, was 9.5m/31ft long by 6.4m/21ft wide. It was lit by three large sash windows on each side, and was entered by a central, southern door. The symmetrical exterior was embellished with moulded window sills in gault brick and a pedimented door case (now obscured by a porch). A room 2.75m/9ft square was added to the north before 1886, and there are a number of piecemeal 20th-century rear extensions. The building is a good example of its type, but its interior has been re-fitted and its windows replaced, although a rail of coat pegs with acorn terminals may be an original feature. Until its expansion to the east and north in the 20th century (to include the present car park and rear lawn) the building occupied a narrow plot of land and was closely bounded on three sides. An area of approximately 10m square between the southern gable and Lower Road may have operated for a short time as a private Baptist burial ground although there are no obvious records of interments at Ringshall.
