Description

Fitzalan Chapel is a Grade I listed Roman Catholic chapel located on the north side of London Road. It was built around the same time as the rest of the church, serving as the chancel. The chapel is aisleless and features a sacristy and a Lady Chapel to the north, along with a 19th-century chapel to the south. Originally founded as the Collegiate Church of the Holy Trinity, it has always been separate from the nave. Today, it serves as the private mausoleum for the Dukes of Norfolk and is notable for its remarkable tombs.
