Lot 2 - Tin Tabernacle / Methodist Chapel Heritage Asset Report

The vendor has obtained a Heritage Asset Report for the Tin Tabernacle to help inform purchasers of the historical significance of the Chapel. A key summary extracted from the Heritage Asset Report is below. The entire report is available upon request.

"Overall, the former Methodist Chapel at Linwood is of moderate significance as an unlisted building of architectural, evidential and communal values."

The Heritage Asset Report continues to provide advice on specific aspects to aid a local planner, should the report be submitted as part of a planning application. It goes into detail on each component of the chapel and whether it should be preserved, or whether it may be altered without adversely impacting the historical and architectural significance of the building. A brief summary of the advice to the LPA is below:

"The former Linwood Methodist Church is quite a rare survival and is a non-designated heritage asset requiring full repair and a new use. There are clearly limitations as the building is small."

The settlement of Linwood has a Monument Record designation, reference number MLI50531, with origins dating back to the medieval period.
