Chapel House

Chapel House is an ornamental building designed to resemble a chapel, likely created around 1761 by Lancelot Brown as part of the layout of Danson Park. It was intended to serve as a focal point for views from the house across the lake, although it is now separated from the house by the A2 trunk road and modern houses. The building is constructed of brick, which is now roughcast. It features a pointed doorway with a quatrefoil in the tympanum, and two pointed windows that have two ogee-headed lights with a quatrefoil above each. On the south wall, there is a chimney-stack that imitates an embattled turret and includes looplights. The roof is tiled and adorned with ornate ridge tiles, and there is a small pointed spire at the north end topped with a weather vane.
