Description
Harewood Hall Horton Hospital Chapel is a hospital chapel, part of which is now used as a hall. It was designed in 1894 and built in 1901 by G T Hine for the London County Council. The building is constructed of yellow brick in English bond, featuring red-brick bands and dressings, with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The chapel has a wide 9-bay nave with 8-bay side aisles. The west bay of the nave is flanked by lower, flat-roofed portals, while there is a 1-bay chancel with a bellcote at the angle of the nave and chancel on the south side, along with a lower, flat-roofed vestry on the north side.
The exterior features a chamfered plinth and angle pilasters at the west and east ends that support open pediments. The bays are defined by square columns with ashlar capitals that support a deeply-oversailing roof, which is hipped over the aisles. The aisle windows are tripartite, consisting of 8-pane sashes flanked by narrow 6-pane sashes, with fanlights that have radial glazing bars, stone sills, imposts, and keystones. There are lunettes at the ends of the aisles and keyed oculi on the sides of the chancel. The west and east ends feature Diocletian windows, with the east end having a central cross panel. Doorways in the western portals and at the east end of the nave on both the north and south sides have ashlar architraves with pulvinated friezes and cornices, leading to deeply recessed 6-panel double doors. The bellcote includes an ashlar bell-housing with a corniced segmental pediment and a cross finial.
Inside, the west end has been divided off as a hall. The interior features Doric-columned arcades and a rood screen, with the arcade columns resting on tall plinths and supporting an entablature and barrel-vaulted roofs. The windows have eaved architraves, and the floor is made of wood parquet and encaustic tiles. Original wooden pews, a pulpit, a lectern, and a raised-and-fielded-panelled organ screen are also present.
