Mariners Chapel

Mariners' Chapel is a chapel built between 1848 and 1849 by John Jaques. It was commissioned by a committee that raised funds through subscriptions and private donations to create a Church of England chapel for sailors and dock workers. The building features squared rubble in diminishing courses with ashlar details and has a plain clay tile roof adorned with bands of fishtail tiles, reflecting the Early Pointed style.

The chapel is a single cell with five bays and has a reversed ritual orientation. The exterior includes offset ashlar plinths, slightly setback buttresses with offsets at the corners, and shorter buttresses defining each bay. The gables are coped with kneelers at both ends, and the east gable features a gabled bellcote housing a single bell in an arched opening. The east wall has an arched doorway with moulded jambs, flanked by a tall lancet on each side and a pair of shorter lancets above, all with trefoil heads. A small trefoil light is located in the upper part of the gable. Each bay of the side walls contains a single lancet, while the west wall has three stepped lancets with trefoil tracery heads and a small trefoil light in the upper part of the gable.

Inside, the walls are white plastered, and the chapel has an open queen post roof. It retains its original pews, pulpit, altar rail, and other fittings. Above the altar, there are three lancets featuring stained glass by Clayton and Bell. On either side of these lancets are large panels in arched frames set within crocketed gables topped with finials, inscribed with the Ten Commandments. Above the lancets, a painted ribbon reads "PRAISE THE LORD."
