Description
The Chapel to the former Legat's School of Ballet was built in 1875 by architects Goldie and Child. It is constructed of red brick with bands of polychrome black brick and features a slate roof. The chapel has a five-bay nave with a clerestorey, aisles, and transepts. The chancel has an apsidal end and there is a south tower. The tower includes stone dressings and a louvred arched bell stage, with two trefoliated headed windows, a circular window, and two lancets on the aisles. A covered passageway connects the chapel to the main buildings. The chapel also features a dogtooth cornice and four circular clerestorey windows with refoliated motifs. The aisles contain four lancets with trefoil heads and trefoil motifs above. The gabled transept has a circular window and two sash windows below, with stone and brick tympani. The polished granite columns that divide the nave and aisles were purchased from Scotland by the Duchess of Leeds. The altar, designed by Peter Paul Pugin, was erected in 1885.
