St Margarets Chapel

St Margaret's Chapel is a 12th-century chapel originally part of the Leper Hospital of St Margaret and St Sepulchre, now serving the United Almshouses. The original structure was rebuilt in the early 14th century and altered in the 15th century. It underwent restoration in 1846 and again in 1875 by Waller and Son, who added a vestry, renewed the roof, and installed new fittings. The chapel features squared rubble that includes some 12th-century masonry in the west wall, with a stone slate roof and coped gables.

The exterior includes a nave with two bays accessed through a west doorway, and a smaller one-bay chancel with an added vestry on the south side. The nave has a chamfered offset plinth and diagonal buttresses with weathered offsets at the corners. The west wall features an arched doorway with moulded jambs and a single light window with a foiled head. A sanctus bell is located in a niche at the top of the gable. Each bay on the north and south sides has a 15th-century two-light window with Perpendicular tracery, and there is a doorway in the second bay of the north wall. The east wall of the chancel has a restored 14th-century three-light window with foiled heads and quatrefoil tracery, while the south wall contains two lancet windows with trefoiled heads, and a similar lancet is found in the north wall east of the 19th-century vestry.

Inside, the chancel arch consists of two chamfered orders, and there are piscinas with moulded arched heads in both the nave and chancel. The 19th-century open roof features a king-post truss, and the stained glass is likely by Clayton and Bell. This chapel is a very rare example of a medieval hospital chapel located on the major eastern approach to the city.
