Chapel At Royal Victoria Infirmary

The Chapel at the Royal Victoria Infirmary is a hospital chapel built between 1900 and 1905, designed by Newcombe & Adams. It is constructed of brick with stone dressings, although much of its exterior is now obscured by later buildings. The chapel has a single-storey Greek cross plan.

Inside, the chapel features a wooden floor, faience tile walls, and mosaic vaults. The central square space has round arched openings on each side, flanked by lower segmental arches with spandrels in the corners, leading to a shallow dome covered in gold mosaic tiles and adorned with eight dormer windows. Each wing of the chapel contains triple arched arcades, and above is a barrel vault decorated with pale blue mosaic tiles. The altar in the north wing is raised on a marble step and features a decorated wooden altar with a wooden reredos behind it, showcasing five painted panels on a gold background depicting the Holy Family and the evangelists. There is a fine pulpit on the left and an elaborately designed lectern on the right, along with stained glass windows and modern wooden pews.
