Description
The Slipper Chapel, located in the garden of Brecon House, is a mid-17th century garden house that was originally associated with the now-demolished Bawburgh Hall. The building is constructed of ashlar stone, with some brick and a plain tiled roof. It has a square plan and stands two stories tall. There are two opposing square-headed doorways featuring wave-moulded reveals, with two moulded brick inner orders added to the south doorway. The east and west walls each have two partially blocked peepholes with wide internal splays. A median frieze adorned with circular medallions runs along the structure. The windows are made of oak, featuring ovolo moulded mullions and transoms, and consist of three lights. There is a taller blocked opening on the east side. The building is topped with a moulded cornice and has four very steep parapetted gables, each with medallions, moulded copings, and obelisk pinnacles.
