Sandham Memorial Chapel

Sandham Memorial Chapel, also known as the Oratory of All Saints, is a Grade I listed building located in Burghclere. It was constructed in 1926 by Lionel Pearson of Adams, Holden, and Pearson as a memorial for Mr and Mrs Behrand in honor of Lieutenant H W Sandham, who passed away in 1919 due to an illness contracted in Macedonia. The chapel is a plain rectangular structure featuring shallow regular panels and a symmetrical facade, which includes a wide central window flanked by narrow windows and a central doorway. It has a hipped tile roof behind a parapet, with coping stone and a broad stone eaves band. A lower band is tied to the head of the stone doorframe, and the windows are framed with thin stone. The building is constructed of red brickwork with brindle panels and has panelled double doors.

The south front of the chapel is symmetrically arranged with a single-storeyed almshouse on each side, projecting forward from the main part of the chapel. Each almshouse features a central doorway with a window on either side, hipped tile roofing, red brickwork with a plinth, and brindle recessed panels. The windows are sash style, and the doors are half-glazed.

The chapel is renowned for its series of mural paintings by Sir Stanley Spencer, which cover the three unglazed walls. These murals were created between 1926 and 1932 and are based on Spencer's experiences with the Royal Army Medical Corps and his later war service in Macedonia. The paintings depict scenes related to life in army hospitals, including a prominent depiction of the Resurrection on the east wall.
