In 1722 it was reported that the chapel was a 'poor mean building about 12 yards long, not six within the walls, made use of for a maltkin and turf room by a Quaker in whose possession it now is'. It was described as 'formerly a Chapel, but not made use of in the memory of man. Robert Satterthwaite said that when a boy he had heard his grandfather say that he had been several times at worship there, The Cumbria Parishes, 1714-1725, from Bishop Gastrell's Notitia, ed. L.A.S. Butler, Cumberland and Westmorland Antiquarian and Archaeological Society Rec. Ser., vol. 12 (1998), 90. 1750 is thus a wildly generous end date for the chapel, allotted to allow for early eighteenth century visitation references (it was noted as 'ruinous' in 1733). 1700, or more c. 1650, sounds more plausible.
