Description
St Duthuc's Roman Catholic Chapel, Dornie, was built in 1871 by J. A. Hansom, and is a simple Gothic-style church comprising a nave and chancel. The church is constructed of rubble with tooled dressings. The five-bay nave has lancet windows and a gabled porch at the northwest. The single-bay chancel has geometrical tracery in its east wall window and paired cusped lights in the south wall. A bellcote with paired bells sits at the apex of the west gable, and the building has a slate roof. A single-storey gabled vestry is located at the northeast, with its entrance facing the presbytery porch.
Inside, there is a stone Gothic reredos featuring polished granite shafts. Similar columns support the altar, and paired cusped lights are set within a niche in the south wall. A demi-octagonal stone pulpit is situated in the chancel arch angle, and there is a simple braced rafter roof.
The presbytery is an asymmetrical two-storey, two-bay gabled house, constructed of coursed rubble with painted stone margins. It features mullioned and transomed windows, a projecting gabled porch with a doorway leading to the vestry, two-pane glazing, corniced end stacks, and a slate roof.
There was a notable Roman Catholic presence in the parish by the 18th century; a priest served the parish by 1793, but no church existed at that time.
