Chapel At Shelton Hospital

The Chapel at Shelton Hospital, built between 1854 and 1856, is a Grade II listed building possibly designed by Thomas Haycock. Constructed from brick with stone dressings and topped with a Welsh slate roof, the chapel features a nave with two aisles and a chancel, all in a simple Early English style. There are doorways on the east and west sides of the north wall, each with small shafts leading to a moulded archway. Paired lancet windows are positioned between the doorways. The west wall has a central belfry that is corbelled out, flanked by a central buttress and lancet windows. The chancel is squared and has a triple lancet window on the east side.

Inside, the chapel has a four-bay arcade with shallow arches supported by plain piers. The principal roofs are curved, with curved under-principals leading to collars. The feet of the common rafters in the nave roof extend below the roof line, creating an open space above the aisles immediately above the wall plate. The chancel arch is simply chamfered. The interior retains original plain chamfered wood furniture and fittings, including pews, a pulpit, and candelabra torcheres.
