FENITON FENNY BRIDGES SY 19 NW 7/75 Wesley Chapel - GV II

Disused chapel, now an animal house, built on or near the site of St Annes Chapel.

Dated 1850. Local stone and flint rubble, some limestone ashlar detail; slate roof.

Small gable-ended single cell chapel on a north-south axis. The front end faces the main Exeter-London road to the south and here is a blocked 2-centred arch doorway (there was once a porch in front). Above it is a blocked oculus window and in the gable a datestone inscribed to effect that the cnapel was built in 1850. The left (west) side wall contains 3 tall windows with 2-centred arch heads. They contained timber windows with glazing bars but much of them has now gone. The right (east) end is blind, so too was the rear (north) end but an opening has been punched through for the animals. Plain interior with plastered ceiling.
