Suffolk Manor Chapel - March 2016

Having a weekend away in the beautiful Suffolk with the other half, we had a drive and came across this run down Chapel, it is believed to be dated from around the 1900's built for estate workers. A prefabricated timber framed building with corrugated metal sheeting. Was rotting away and falling apart, as i walked through i could hear the floor creaking, expecting to fall through any minute.

On with the photos

















thanks for looking

Very cute!

Gotta like a Tin Tabernacle, Nicely Done, Thanks

Nice find never seen this one before.great photos

One of a number of 'off the peg' designs available around that time. The religious buildings produced by three companies - all trading separately by 1905, but all originating in the 1800's from the same devout family, gave very large discounts to none conformist groups who were prepared to branch out away from the larger towns.

Great little find jsp77! I love tin tabernacles

What a lovely little place! Great pics!

thanks for the kind comments, first time i have been to a tin tabernacle.

Good stuff, reminds of the restored one at the Midland Railway centre. I always think there's something oddly 'wild west' about them.
