Description
Sandemanian Chapel (Village Institute), Gayle MYD35068 (c) YDNPA, 2023
A single-storey stone rubble building with a stone slate roof built around 1755 as an Inghamite Chapel by the Batty brothers and James Allen of Gayle. Shortly afterwards they became followers of Robert Sandeman, who seceded from the Scottish Church. To the east of the chapel is a burial ground with well-lettered 18th and 19th century tombstones. The building is now used as a village institute.
