Description
Chapel House is a former Catholic church and school, now converted into flats, built between 1788 and 1790. The building was gutted in 1973 and converted around 1980. It features a stucco exterior with a coursed, squared Pennant rubble plinth and limestone dressings, topped by a pantile roof for the flats. The structure is single storey with a four-window range. The Pennant plinth has 20th-century coping and two-centre openings, including a right-hand archway leading to a flagged passage with a stained-glass overlight. The windows feature Y-tracery, with a larger window to the right of the door. The right return of the building has a wide, shallow bow with two small 20th-century windows. The interior has not been inspected, but historically, this was the first Catholic church built in Bristol after the Reformation, originally having a simple interior with an east apse, which included a cornice and double doors.
