Description
Saint John's Memorial Chapel is a 19th-century Chapel of Ease located in Charlton Musgrove. It is built from local stone that has been cut and squared, with dressings made from Doulting stone. The chapel features a stone slate roof, which has been reused from Stavordale Priory, and is topped with a coped gable and a finial at the west end. Designed in a 12th-century style, the chapel has a one-cell plan with a semi-circular apsidial east end and a bell turret located at the southeast corner.
Architectural details include a plinth and an eaves course adorned with dogtooth ornamentation. The east end has three pairs of plain lancet windows, while the west gable features a pointed arch doorway with dogtooth moulding around the label and a wheel window above it. The bell turret has a string course that aligns with the eaves, gablets on each face, and tapers to a simple octagonal shape capped by a crocketed spirelet. The west face of the bell turret has a trefoil-headed door, and the south face has double lancets. The interior was not accessible as of November 1983.
