The Chapel

The Chapel was built in 1951 on the site of the bombed parish church together with the residential extension to the Master's House. Simple, rectangular and brick-faced, reflecting post-war austerity, it was substantially re-ordered in 2004, in memory of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, to create a brighter and lighter interior with its enlarged windows, increase its capacity and flexibility for worship and integrate it with the expanded residential accommodation and garden. We hold daily services to which residents and visitors are welcome.
