Church Micro 7118...Bere Heath Traditional Cache

The Bere Heath Chapel at Chapel Cross was built in 1850 at a cost of £121 and with a seating capacity of 90. It is built in brick, subsequently cream colourwashed, with a slated roof and the original brick paved floor was replaced by boards and joists in 1870.

A Stable was added in about 1886, but has since been removed. A room at the west end, the entrance porch and some well designed front railings all appear to have been added since the original building. In 1870 it was described as 'placed in the midst of considerable desolateness, a red brick chapel'.
