Chapel Of St Wilfred Or Brougham Chapel

The Chapel of St Wilfred, also known as Brougham Chapel, is a Church of England chapel that was rebuilt in 1658 for Lady Anne Clifford on a medieval site, with early 19th-century alterations made for Lord Brougham. The chapel features coursed red sandstone rubble walls with flush quoins, topped by a graduated greenslate roof with coped gables and kneelers, and has a west twin open bellcote. It consists of a 4-bay nave and a single-bay chancel under a common roof.

The nave includes a 17th-century pointed-arched south doorway with a hoodmould, and small round-arched 17th-century windows, also with hoodmoulds, positioned between stepped buttresses. The taller west windows and similar north windows include a 19th-century window with an engaged-columned surround. The chancel features a south 17th-century ogee-headed priest's doorway under a hoodmould, tall round-headed 17th-century east windows, and a 19th-century rose window.

Inside, there is no division between the chancel and nave. The ceiling is made of 17th-century timber with collar-beam trusses and curved braces beneath the collars, adorned with elaborate 19th-century heraldic plasterwork. A 17th-century bowl and stem font, inscribed and reworked in the 19th century, is present. The west screen consists of a series of enriched circular posts supporting cinquefoiled arches, with a moulded and enriched cornice, imported from France in the 16th century by Lord Brougham. The dado panelling includes imported 16th-century traceried panels, and the pulpit incorporates similar reused panels featuring carved Biblical figures. Longitudinal stalls include 16th-century French panels, with those on the south wall having carved canopy hoods. Some 17th-century painted plasterwork has been preserved around the priest's door. The chapel also features 19th-century stained glass that incorporates some earlier imported glass.
