Bursea Chapel
Bursea Chapel is a historic Anglican chapel in Bursea, a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England.
There was a chapel in Bursea in the mediaeval period. The current building was constructed on a new site between 1867 and 1872, to a design by William Butterfield.[1] It cost £350, funded by Thomas Sotheron Estcourt, but he and Butterfield had a lengthy dispute over the design and quality of construction.[2][3] It is a chapel of ease to All Saints' Church, Holme-on-Spalding-Moor.[4] The building was grade II listed in 1987.[1] Nikolaus Pevsner describes is as "very modest, but not without character".[3]
The chapel is built of red brick, with blue brick diapering, stone dressings, and a tile roof with stone gable coping and shaped kneelers. The nave and chancel are in one unit, and there is a south gabled porch. At the west end is a bell under a half-hipped roof. The windows have trefoil-headed lights.[1][3]
