Description
The Chapel at Thurnham Hall is a Roman Catholic domestic chapel built in 1845. It is constructed from coursed sandstone, with ashlar stone at the front, and features a slate roof. The chapel is located on the south side of Thurnham Hall. The west facade has a gabled design with an embattled corner turret on the right. It includes a window with three trefoiled lights beneath a pointed head, which is adorned with a quatrefoil. The south wall is topped with an embattled parapet and has an embattled turret on the right that contains paired bell openings. There are three windows on this side, designed as triple stepped lancets with Tudor-arched heads.
Inside, there are statues in niches on each side of the altar at the west end. The roof trusses, supported by stone corbels, feature arch-braced collars. At the east end, there is a gallery with an arcaded timber front. On the north side, a gallery used by Miss Elizabeth Dalton includes a fireplace and a hinged screen for privacy from the tenants.
