great antiquity. This room is only fixteen feet by fixteen. feet 
eight inches ; and full feventeen feet nine inches in height. The 
ceiling is formed of vaft joifts, placed only five or fix inches apart. 
Modern delicacy would not much approve of fuch a place of wor- 
fhip : for it has at prefent much more the appearance of a dungeon- 
than of a room, fit for the reception of people of condition. For. 
the outfide I refer the reader to the plate, in which Mr. Grirmt- 
has reprefented it with; his ufual accuracy. The field on which 
this oratory abuts is ftill called/ Chapel-field. The- fituation of 
this houfe is very particular, for it ftands upon the immediate, 
verge of a fteep abrupt hill. 
Not many years fince this place was ufed for an hop-kiln, and. 
was divided into > two ftories by a loft, part of which remains at 
prefent, and makes it. convenient for peat and turf, with which it 
is flowed.
