Old Lodge And Chapel Of The Sacred Heart, Digby Stuart College

The Old Lodge and Chapel of the Sacred Heart at Digby Stuart College was built in 1853 by William Wardell. This simple structure, designed in a 14th century Gothic style, is made of coursed squared stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a steep pitched slate roof. The chapel was originally intended as a "transeptal chapel" for visitors and opened into the chancel of the main chapel, which was destroyed during the last war.

On the north wall, there are two three-light windows with tracery heads, one featuring daggers and the other mouchettes. The west gable has a rose window. Inside, the chapel boasts a ribbed waggon roof adorned with painted panels and an elaborate painted stone reredos designed as a 14th century Gothic arch with canopied wings, which house sacred figures.

The adjacent Old Lodge, facing the street, is built in a similar style and uses similar materials. It has a symmetrical design, with the main storey featuring a pointed-arch door flanked by two pairs of cusped-head two-light windows on each side. A string course steps up over the slightly advanced entrance bay. The upper floor has a large central steep-pitched half-gable and smaller flanking half-gables. The central half-gable contains a complex three-light window, with the middle light filled by a sacred figure beneath a canopy. Each flanking half-gable has a mullion-and-transom two-light window. The listing does not include the stone-faced range to the north of the Old Lodge or the modern brick chapel to the south of the Chapel of the Sacred Heart.
