George Lamb Memorial Chapel

The George Lamb Memorial Chapel, dated 1893, was built in Kingston upon Hull as a Primitive Methodist chapel in memory of George Lamb. The building is constructed of yellow brick with ashlar dressings, topped with a slate roof and featuring two rear gable stacks. It is designed in a Classical Revival style. The chapel has a plinth, string course, sill band, and eaves band. It is two storeys high, with a 5x7 window arrangement. The first-floor windows have round heads. A projecting central bay, with three windows, has a first floor divided by Corinthian pilasters, paired at the corners, and a pedimented gable with a round ventilator. The sill band is inscribed "Primitive Methodist Connexion" and the frieze reads "George Lamb Memorial Chapel". The ground floor features rusticated brick flanking the pilasters, a panelled frieze and cornice. A central ashlar doorcase, topped with a pediment on long curved brackets, provides access to panelled double doors with an overlight. A transomed window is located to the left, and is blocked. There are two-storey porches on either side, each with a single transomed window on each floor. The porch returns incorporate pedimented gables with a single window on each floor. The main returns feature six plain sash windows on each floor. The interior is characterised by pilasters and a coved ceiling with ornamented cross beams. A round cornered opening, with matching ornamentation, leads to a gallery containing a panelled organ case with show pipes. There is a fielded panelled gallery on three sides, supported by cast-iron columns with composite capitals. The gallery includes internal porches and leaded glazed draught screens. The aisle ceilings display span beams and struts. A half-round panelled wooden pulpit with stairs on either side faces the front, with a semicircular dais featuring a moulded rail on wrought-iron stands positioned in front of it. The entrance lobby features a moulded cornice and wooden dogleg stairs with turned balusters and ramped scrolled handrails. Glazed internal porches give access to six-panel doors. Original fittings include matchboard benches and box pews, and a memorial table dedicated to those who died in World War II.
