Principle feature of the interior is the galleried first floor of the chancel with vestry below.
Formerly Oakhill Congregational church, and nicknamed the "Little Cathedral".

Listing NGR: ST6304047258.

The Independent Chapel, now converted to two dwellings, the Bell Tower and The Round House.

It was built in 1872 to replace a smaller Congregational chapel at Little London.  It was affectionately known as the Little Cathedral because of its rather grand design.  The bell tower was built before the rest of the building , and a photograph exists of the tower standing alone.

Taken from here though I have searched I failed to find said photo.
