Description
The chapel at St Anne's Almshouses is a 15th-century almshouse chapel that was restored in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is built from coursed Heavitree stone with volcanic stone dressings and features a slate roof with stone coping on the gable ends. The chapel has a small single-cell plan and is linked to St Anne's Almshouses on the south side.
On the exterior, there is a three-light Perpendicular window on the east side and a two-light window on the west side, both featuring cusped tracery. The south side has a two-centred chamfered arch priest's doorway, above which is a two-light square-headed window with a hoodmould. To the left of the priest's doorway is a chamfered round arch doorway with a 20th-century canopy. The eaves are supported by carved corbel heads, while the north side of the chapel is blind.
Inside, the chapel has a ceiled four-bay wagon roof with ovolo and hollow moulded ribs, featuring carved bosses at the intersections and carved wooden corbel heads on the moulded wall-plate. The furnishings are from the 20th century.
