Glenside Hospital Chapel

Glenside Hospital Chapel is a chapel built around 1861 as part of the Bristol Lunatic Asylum. It is constructed from squared Pennant rubble with limestone dressings and features a slate roof topped with a copper lantern. The chapel has a cruciform plan, including north and south porches and an east porte cochere. Designed in the Gothic Revival style, the east end features a low porte cochere with a weathered, parapeted roof and a two-centred doorway, flanked by two lancet windows and a rose window set within a hoodmould. There is an ashlar band at the apex and clasping buttresses. The east end also has a gabled porch and a four-bay chancel, each bay containing a lancet window separated by buttresses and a corbel table. The north transept gable mirrors the east end, while the northwest chapel gable and two-bay nave include a hood that encloses two lancets and an oval top window. The south elevation is similar and features an octagonal stair turret on the west side of the transept, topped with a decorated ashlar. The west gable has three stepped lancets beneath a hood with thin tracery heads, above a stilted drip. An octagonal copper-clad lantern is positioned over the crossing. The interior has not been inspected.
