Architecture

Exterior

Poole Methodist Chapel is a small building with a square plan. [3] It is constructed in red brick, and has a hipped slate roof. The chapel is in a single storey, and has an entrance front of three bays. The central door is panelled and is decorated with a Gothic motif. The doorway is round-headed, the fanlight being filled by a board decorated with seven radiating daggers. Above the doorway is a semicircular hood mould, over which is a lamp fitting and an elliptical panel inscribed with "Wesleyan Methodist Chapel" and the date 1834. The door is flanked on each side by a Gothic-style arched window containing Y-tracery, over which is a pointed hood mould. Under the eaves, the bricks form a dentilled pattern. [2]

Interior

Inside the chapel is a wooden panelled reading desk on a moulded plinth with an ogee cornice. On each side of the reading desk is a flight of three steps with balusters and newels. The reredos is also panelled, the central panel being wider than the outer panels, and with a semicircular head. The reredos is decorated with motifs including garlands and roses. Also in the chapel are a communion table with communion rails, and a treadle organ. [2]

Capesthorne Hall is a country house near the village of Siddington, Cheshire, England. The house and its private chapel were built in the early 18th century, replacing an earlier hall and chapel nearby. They were built to Neoclassical designs by William Smith and (probably) his son Francis. Later in the 18th century, the house was extended by the addition of an orangery and a drawing room. In the 1830s the house was remodelled by Edward Blore; the work included the addition of an extension and a frontage in Jacobean style, and joining the central block to the service wings. In about 1837 the orangery was replaced by a large conservatory designed by Joseph Paxton. In 1861 the main part of the house was virtually destroyed by fire. It was rebuilt by Anthony Salvin, who generally followed Blore's designs but made modifications to the front, rebuilt the back of the house in Jacobean style, and altered the interior. There were further alterations later in the 19th century, including remodelling of the Saloon. During the Second World War the hall was used by the Red Cross, but subsequent deterioration prompted a restoration.

Robertsbridge United Reformed Church is a former United Reformed Church place of worship in Robertsbridge, a village in the district of Rother in the English county of East Sussex. Built for Congregational worshippers in 1881 following their secession from a long-established Wesleyan Methodist chapel, it was the third Nonconformist place of worship in the village, whose nearest parish church was in the neighbouring settlement of Salehurst. Like the former Strict Baptist and Methodist chapels in the village, which have both closed, it no longer serves Robertsbridge as a place of worship. Local architect Thomas Elworthy's distinctive design—a "rich" and highly decorated blend of several styles—has divided opinion amongst architectural historians. English Heritage has listed the church at Grade II for its architectural and historical importance.
