Rickford Chapel is a 19th century "Swiss style" Grade II listed Methodist chapel built in 1888 which sits on the edge of Rickford Pond.
Rickford Pond used to feed a paper mill and flour mill which were both built in the 18th century. The paper mill produced handmade paper until 1895 and the flour mill was unfortunately destroyed by fire.
It's on the main road so take care if stopping.

Stunning Swiss-style chocolate box chapel on the edge of pond, built in 1888. Well worth stopping but mind the traffic - it's on a national speed limit road.
