Description
The chapel adjoining the northwest of Jane Walker Hospital was built in 1908 by Smith and Brewer for the East Anglian Sanatorium company. It is constructed of roughcast brick and features a gable-ended plain tile roof. The layout includes a nave with a west end entrance and a chancel, all under one roof, along with a small transeptal organ wing on the north side of the chancel. This building is designed in the Edwardian Free Style.
The exterior showcases a west end with a doorway flanked by sidelights and a flat canopy above, leading to a large semi-circular window in the gable. The north and south sides of the nave are divided into three bays by battered buttresses that rise through the deep eaves, which have gabled tops. Beneath the eaves, there are bands of 5-light windows with leaded panes. The east gable end features similar corner buttresses and a small 3-light stone mullion window positioned high in the gable. The gable-ended north transept also has corner buttresses and a Venetian window. At the ridge, there is a small open timber bellcote with a hipped roof, along with two flat-roof dormers on either side. The building has leaded pane casements throughout.
Inside, the chapel has plain plastered walls and a polygonal barrel-vaulted ceiling. An open timber screen with a rood is set in a plastered arch above.
