Savoy Chapel (The Queen'S Chapel Of The Savoy)

The Savoy Chapel, also known as the Queen's Chapel of the Savoy, is a Grade II* listed chapel royal located on Savoy Hill in the City of Westminster. It was built between 1510 and 1516 as part of the Hospital of St John-the-Baptist. The south wall and bell turret were added around 1830 by Sir Robert Smirke, and the chapel underwent restoration in 1864 by Sidney Smirke. In 1940, it was adapted for the Royal Victorian Order, with further alterations and additions made between 1956 and 1957 by A B Knapp-Fisher.

The chapel is constructed of stone rubble with fine ashlar dressings and features an aisleless design with transepts. It has a small square tower topped with a simple bell turret that includes pointed arch openings at the south end. The chapel consists of five bays and has three-light, four-centred arched windows with drip moulds, all of which were restored by Sidney Smirke. Inside, the chapel boasts an enriched Tudor panelled ceiling and Tudor monuments, along with reset stained glass dating from the 13th to the 15th century.
