Description
No. 22 Great College Street, including St Edward's Chapel on Tufton Street, is a building that served as a home and chapel for the Society of St John the Evangelist, constructed between 1903 and 1905 by Edward Burgess. It features red brick with stone dressings and a slate roof, designed in a Free Style Tudor Gothic style with an embattled tower. The structure stands four storeys tall, with a five-storey tower that slightly projects to the left.
The main block has five windows across, plus coupled windows in the tower. The gable and return are nearly blind, followed by a recessed link bay leading to the chapel block, which has a broad entrance bay and a range of three windows to the right. The combined entrance for both the chapel and the schoolhouse is located on Tufton Street. On Great College Street, the main block features a central two-storey crenellated projection that is two windows wide, with large three-light mullioned-transomed windows. The other windows are two-, three-, and four-light mullioned windows, with those on the first floor being transomed and having four-centred arched heads. To the right, there is a three-storey canted bay turret topped with a weather-coped parapet. The building has a weathered stone plinth and string courses, with a weathered stone string below the crowning parapet.
The Tufton Street front includes a three-centred arched portal with moulded jambs and a drip mould above, featuring a triple group of lancets, with the central lancet serving as a niche for a statue. The three-window range to the right rises four storeys high, with a deep stone plinth. The upper floor window bays are recessed between plain buttress piers that are stone capped and stop short of the sheer attic. The first floor chapel windows are Y-traceried and three-centred arched, while there is only one small window at the third floor level, with the wall face finished sheer. The simple six-bay chapel is accessed via a narthex and features three vaulted bays at right angles, with a lady chapel above that also has three bays with a simple rib vault, all designed in the Early English style.
