Description
Lovekyn Chapel is a Grade II* listed chantry chapel founded by Edward Lovekyn in 1309. It was partly rebuilt in 1352 and underwent significant renewal in 1886. The chapel became part of Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School in 1561, which was later renamed Kingston Grammar School, and it has remained associated with the school ever since.
The building is a plain rectangular structure with gabled ends and octagonal corner turrets at the east end. It is three bays wide. Originally faced with flint, the east wall and the two eastern bays of the south wall were re-faced with ashlar in the late 19th century, and the turrets are also ashlar-faced. The east and west windows feature three-light cusped Perpendicular windows, while the side windows are two-light, with only one of the three in the north wall currently open. On the south side, only the two eastern bays have windows, and the western bay contains a two-centred-arched doorway. The interior has three bays, with two cusped arches in the north and south walls between the windows. There is a corbel in the form of a carved head attached to a mullion at the east end, and the roof features a king post design.
