St Mary'S Home Chapel

St Mary's Home Chapel is a building designed by W D Caröe, dating from 1913. It is located in a hollow, surrounded by steep banks to the southwest, northwest, and northeast. The chapel features roughcast walls with stone dressings and slate roofs. It has a low shingled central tower topped with a pyramidal roof and finial.

The southwest end has a slate-hung gable and a pentice over two narrow trefoil-headed lancets. The nave roof slopes down to each side over "outshuts," each with a southwest slate-hung gable and a pentice over a single-light lancet. The central entrance is framed by an ashlar architrave with a coved and embattled entablature.

On the southeast elevation of the nave, there is a tall single-light window and a two-light window with a foliated label. The transept features a close-studded gablet with a pentice at eaves level over a two-light window, while the sanctuary is illuminated by a flat-arched four-light window strip with cinquefoil-headed lights and carved spandrels. The roof continues to the northeast over an outshut, which has a pyramidal roof and a large cross highlighted in red tile on the wall below.

The northwest elevation shows the roof descending lower over a corridor wing of the chapel, with its fenestration visible in a contemporary link wing that has a glazed roof connecting the chapel to a mid-19th century house. To the north of this wing, there is an ashlar porch with a parapet, a two-centred doorway with carved spandrels, and a statue in a canopied niche beside it. Further north, a low side wing is lit by a canted three-light bay window and a two-light window, both featuring leaded lights.

Inside, the vaulted interior is divided into bays by stone ribs, with a wood embattled cornice and a wood boarded belfry tower. The sanctuary ceiling is panelled plaster with intersecting wooden ribs and bosses. There are two stone doorways at the north end of the sanctuary, along with stone sedilia and a piscina. The southwest end of the chapel interior has a central stone doorway with a segmental gallery opening above. Until 1983, there was a gilded reredos, likely by Caröe, and two contemporary side pews.
