Description
Mount Grace Lady Chapel and Lady Chapel Lodge is a chapel and house dating from the early 16th century, although much of the chapel was rebuilt in the 20th century and includes 20th-century additions. The chapel is constructed of random coursed stone and has a graduated stone slate roof. It consists of two bays, and attached to the right is the house, which is a single-storey structure with attics and also has two bays.
The chapel features a deep moulded plinth and offset diagonal buttresses on the west side. The left bay contains a board door set in an original chamfered surround with a four-centred arch and hoodmould. To the right, there is a 20th-century Perpendicular-style three-light window. The west gable has wide stone coping, and the west window is also a three-light window in the Perpendicular style from the 20th century.
The house, dating from the mid-19th century, projects forward and has a central 20th-century door flanked by two-light mullion windows, all of which have hoodmoulds. There are two two-light raking dormers, stone coping, and end stacks. Inside, there are two 20th-century hammer-beam roof trusses. The site is listed for its historic association with Mount Grace Priory. Originally built by a Prior of Mount Grace, it has since become a Roman Catholic shrine and a place of pilgrimage.
