Description:John Sneyd of Belmont Hall originally planned Chapel House as a church. Around 1790, Sneyd argued with the incumbent of St. Leonard's Church in Ipstones and started to build his own church. They soon settled their argument and the building was converted into a house. Chapel House is Grade II listed, is built of local sandstone, and consists of an unfinished tower, nave and chancel.

Photographer: William Blake of Longton.
