Former Chapel At Hidcote Manor

The former chapel at Hidcote Manor, originally a barn, dates from the 18th century and was converted into a chapel in the 20th century by Lawrence Johnston. The building features ashlar gable ends, a facade of squared limestone, and a brick wall with limestone quoins facing the road. The roof has an artificial stone pitch on the side facing the road and limestone slate on the opposite side. The gable ends have flat coping, with a roll-cross saddle on the right and an ashlar bell turret also on the right.

This single-unit structure was formerly two storeys high. The facade includes a single four-light trefoil-headed hollow chamfered window beneath a segmental stopped hood. To the right, there is an unpainted, studded, reused plank door with cover strips and decorative strap hinges, set in a four-centred arched doorway with a hollow, moulded architrave. The large east window features three cusped lights with perpendicular tracery, also under a segmental stopped hood. All windows are fitted with diamond leaded lights.

On the right gable end, there are steps that formerly led to a door, which is now blocked. This area has a projecting porch with a limestone slate roof supported by wooden uprights, and there is also a three-light flat chamfered stone-mullioned window. Inside, the chapel has a 20th-century roof with an arched brace resting on corbels, with a collar above the brace. A few panes of reused Medieval window glass can be found in all the windows. This property is managed by the National Trust.
