Appraisal
Located close to the roadside, this chapel makes a notable contribution to the surrounding area. The scale and form of the building are typical of the architectural design employed by the Catholic Church in the period following Emancipation. The building retains interesting features and materials, such as the limestone dressings, stained-glass windows and interior features.
