Description
The Former Royal Victoria Patriotic Chapel, built between 1864 and 1866, was designed by architect Rhode Hawkins and originally served the Royal Victoria Patriotic Asylum. This rectangular building features a five-sided apse and is constructed of yellow brick with stone dressings and slate roofs, showcasing an early 13th century French Gothic style. The west end has a sharply-pitched gable that contains a wheel window with cusped lights and colonnettes, along with a pointed entrance arch set within a gablet below. The sides of the chapel are adorned with three-light windows featuring varied tracery patterns above, all set within broad pointed arches and flanked by buttresses. The apse displays lancet arcading beneath the eaves, which shields small quatrefoil lights. Although the interior has been converted to offices, the boarded timber roof remains intact.
