Description
The Chapel at Liscombe House is a former chapel that has been converted into a disused billiard room. It dates back to the 14th century and has undergone alterations. The building is constructed from greensand rubble with clunch dressing, featuring brick buttresses and stepped gables, topped with an old tile roof.
The chapel has two bays of two-light Decorated windows, which have been partly restored, along with an additional high cusped lancet window at the west end of the south wall. The east window is a three-light Decorated window, and the interior includes restored shafts and foliage caps from the 19th century.
On the west side, there is an altered entry with double doors set in a flat-headed wooden architrave frame, a blocked window with a segmental head above it, and a round cusped window in the gable. Inside, the chapel features an arch-braced roof, part of which is ceiled, 17th-century dado panelling, and fragments of heraldic stained glass in the east window.
