Roof of old small slates, grouted; stone copings. Entrance elevation faces N, and has 2 recessed sash windows flanked by entrances. The openings have shaped, eared architraves and keystones; the window sill band across the front elevation broken by the entrance architraves. The chapel house at the E end is a 2-storey, single window range, with addition to S. Similarly detailed construction, but with plainer dressings.
