Appraisal
This site is unusual as it is rare to see a coach house at a church. It was used to shelter horse and traps of the Dawson family during services represents an interesting reminder of the social order of the time. Recently restored, the simple building is enhanced by the retention of early fabric and the use of appropriate materials.
