St Peters Convent Chapel

St. Peter's Convent Chapel is a convent chapel built between 1869 and 1871 by Henry Woodyer, with the north transept possibly added later and the south chapel dated 1898. The chapel is constructed of red brick with yellow sandstone ashlar bands, offsets, and dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs. It features a nave with approximately six slender bays, an apsidal east end, and north and south transepts, the latter extending eastwards with a three-bay chapel from 1898. The building is buttressed and has tall, slender lancet windows at a high level, with single roll mouldings, except for the apse where the mouldings have two orders. The windows in the center of the apse are shorter, stepping up over a brick relief crucifix. On the south side, there is a lean-to addition with arcaded brick moulding that forms a corridor. The south transept includes a projecting chimney breast that crosses from the right to the center, supported by corbels, and rises to a small, lateral, diagonally-set stack beneath a half-hipped roof. The 1898 chapel has two-light windows with Decorated tracery and a flat roof. The north transept is gabled and features a wheel window at the apex, while the west gable has a larger wheel window. The chapel is attached at the west end to additional convent buildings.

Inside, there is a wooden screen at the west end with a small gallery above for the organ. The roof is steeply pitched, arch-braced, and wind-braced, with a semi-domed structure over the apse supported by radiating ribs. Early English Gothic arcading is present at high level on engaged colonnettes. The south transept is accessed through a cusped doorway and features imported early oak paneling. The gallery above continues the arcading across its front. The chapel contains stained glass by Powell, designed by Bell in 1871, and a west window by Kempe from 1888 to 1894. The east windows have abstract colored glass in a modern style.
