Description

The Chapel of Kingswood School is a commemorative school chapel built in 1922 by Gunton and Gunton. It is constructed from Bath limestone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof.

The chapel has a rectangular nave with an apsed chancel and is designed in a Perpendicular style. The west end appears unfinished, suggesting that a porch was planned. It features a recessed doorway surrounded by a shield moulding and framed by buttresses with offsets. This doorway is flanked by two-light mullioned windows with cusped heads and drip moulds above. Above these is a five-light Perpendicular window with a hood-mould. The side elevations consist of five bays with three-light windows that include a band of shields on a wide transom, along with buttresses with offsets. The chapel also has a corbel table and a castellated parapet, while the apsed chancel is adorned with lancet windows on each face.

Inside, the chapel includes a lobby beneath the west gallery, a four-bay nave with a hammer beam roof, and a shield band on the window transoms similar to the exterior. The interior features high-quality oak joinery and furniture, including a panelled front to the gallery and a panelled screen below.
