Description
The chapel at St John's Hospital, built in the 1850s by D. Brandon, serves as a chapel for the former lunatic asylum. It features coursed rubble stone made from local materials for the nave and chancel, while the transepts are constructed of rockfaced yellow limestone. The building has a tiled roof with a wooden bellcote situated over the nave and a cruciform plan. Designed in the early English Gothic style, it includes plate tracery windows at the west end and transept gables, lancet windows at the east window, and paired lights on the sides. Inside, the chapel boasts arch-braced roofs with quatrefoil openings that create a corona at the crossing. Notably, there is an 18th-century font supported by four clustered piers adorned with heraldic ornament.
