Description
Rochester Deaconesses' Chapel, Clapham Common, was built in 1891 by the architect Philip Webb. It is a three-bay structure defined by shallow piers and incorporates a basement and main storey. The building is constructed of yellow brick, with harled spandrels between the bays and along the coving. It has a tiled roof. The segmental-headed windows are each of five leaded lights.
Inside, the chapel features an open roof with wooden trusses. The windows were created by Morris and Company, using cartoons by Burnes-Jones. A central south window, dated 1911, depicts St Gabriel, Mary (sister of Lazarus), the Blessed Virgin, Martha, and St Michael, all set against a background of trees and lilies. Two small roundel windows in the chancel, made in 1912, each depict an angel with red wings. A further small roundel in the west wall, dated 1913 and created by Henry Dearle, shows a praying angel.
