Description
The Red House School Chapel is a chapel built in the early 17th century and consecrated in 1618 for the Slingsby family. It is constructed of brick in English garden wall bond, with ashlar quoins and dressings, and has a Welsh slate roof. The chapel and ante-chapel are rectangular in plan, two storeys high, open to the roof, and consist of three bays.
On the south facade, there are quoins on the right side and a two-light double-chamfered mullion window to the left. The first floor features three cinquefoiled three-light windows set in square-headed frames, along with a stepped eaves course. The west gable end has a round-arched door frame with imposts and a keystone, which contains the original panelled door. Above the door, there is an inscription in brick that reads "Pro termino vitae sic non nobis". The east gable end showcases a large three-light Perpendicular window that may have been inserted from an earlier building.
Inside, the chapel retains much of its original carved furniture. Notable features include the pulpit, poppyhead bench ends, panelled pews, and a screen to the ante-chapel with splat balusters. There is also a gallery supported by consoles, and a closed string staircase leading to the gallery, which has bulbous balusters, elaborately carved newels, and carved finials that symbolize the family and friends of Sir Henry Slingsby. Additionally, there is a later 17th-century altar rail.
