Kings Lee Chapel

Kings Lee Chapel, built in 1873 by W. & G. Audsley on the Ellel Grange estate, is now disused. It was originally known as the Church of St. Mary and then the Chapel of St. Mary. The building is constructed of coursed, rock-faced sandstone with a steep slate roof, and is in a High Victorian Gothic style. It comprises a nave, a lower, apsidal chancel, a north porch with a tower, a north vestry, and a south organ chamber. The porch tower is square, with angle buttresses that rise to an octagon with trefoiled lancet bell openings, topped by a stone spire with two pierced bands of red sandstone. The doorway features two orders of moulding, with red granite angle shafts and capitals whose foliation continues as an impost band, culminating in a trefoiled inner arch. Windows have geometric tracery of varying designs. The west wall has angle buttresses and a four-light window. The south nave wall has two bays separated by a buttress, with three-light windows. The north nave wall also has two bays with three-light windows. The apse has lancet windows.

The interior of the porch features arcading with marble shafts. The interior walls are of sandstone ashlar with polychrome banding. The nave has a wagon roof with paintings on panels, and low timber arcaded panelling around the walls. An arch on the south side opens into the organ chamber, where the organ remains. The pointed chancel arch's inner order is supported by corbelled marble shafts with foliated capitals. Below are wrought iron railings on a marble base. A carved stone pulpit is located on the north side. The chancel roof is decorated with painting and gilding. A cusped carved rib, carried on marble shafts, separates the main roof from the apsidal end, which has radiating ribs. The lancet windows form a moulded arcade, with arches separated by attached square marble piers with foliated capitals; above and below the openings are foliated bands. The reredos is carved from alabaster. The original floor tiles remain, and each window contains finely-detailed stained glass, though some of the apse windows have suffered damage from vandalism.
