Description

The Norfolk and Norwich Hospital Chapel is a hospital chapel built around 1879 by architects E. Boardman and T. H. Wyatt. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features a plain tile roof. The chapel includes a nave, a west porch, and a chancel with a pentagonal apse. The nave has three cinque-foiled two-light windows with drip moulds, which are flanked by buttresses. There is a circular traceried window at the west end. The exterior is adorned with stone string courses, an eaves cornice, and kneelers at the gables, along with an ogee-headed belfry. Inside, the chapel has a chancel arch and an arch-braced hammer-beam roof with wind braces. It also features a castellated wooden organ case with an iron grille and an ogee-headed reredos consisting of five panels.
