Paraclete Chapel

Paraclete Chapel is a church built between 1905 and 1906 by architect Bodley. It is constructed from snecked sandstone rubble with limestone dressings and features a tiled roof. The chapel includes a nave, a west porch, an east vestry, and a south chapel. The porch spans the full width of the nave and is a single storey with a parapet. On either side of the moulded pointed doorway are trefoiled single-light windows. The west wall of the nave features three niches with cusped ogee heads and two buttresses, topped by a stone bellcote. The north wall of the nave has four bays separated by buttresses, with windows that have trefoiled triangular heads, arranged in groups of four, three, two, and two lights. The south wall of the nave contains two windows, one with two lights and the other with three. The south chapel has a window with four lights and an east window with three lights. The east vestry is a single storey with a parapet, and its north and south walls each have a window with two trefoiled lights. The east doorway is moulded and pointed, and there is a square-plan chimney with a gabled cap and an ogee-headed opening at the south-east corner. The east wall of the nave is blind and features a central buttress.

Inside, an arcade of four pointed arches divides the nave along its axis. The arches spring from octagonal piers with moulded capitals and are chamfered in two orders. A moulded pointed arch leads into the south chapel. The sanctuary floor is laid in marble in a chequerboard pattern. To the west of the central pier of the arcade, a carved oak screen with tracery decoration and brattishing separates the nave from the choir. The choir stalls are also made of oak and feature carved blind tracery. The eastern window on the south side of the nave contains stained glass depicting figures of saints and serves as a memorial to those who were killed in the Great War.
