Former Capel Seion

An Italianate style chapel of scribed roughcast painted yellow-brown, and slate roof behind coped gables. The 3-bay gable-end front has rusticated quoins. The round-headed central doorway has Tuscan pilasters with moulded arch and keystone, and double fielded-panel doors with radial-glazed overlight. Windows have moulded architraves with keystones and sills. To the L and R of the entrance are tall round-headed windows with 2-light tracery. Above the doorway is a triple gallery window of round-headed lights on a corbelled sill, incorporating leaded lights and coloured glass. A pediment has a thin cornice carried over the central window as a round arch, and a small roundel. The broader moulded verge has an apex fleur-de-lys finial.

The 4-bay R side wall, facing Chapel Street, has tall 2-light windows similar to the front. At the R-hand end are recessed double panelled doors under a round-headed overlight. The opposite, 4-bay L side wall, facing the yard behind the Bishopsgate Hotel, has similar 2-light windows but plainer architraves and, like the rear gable end, is pebble-dashed.

The entrance vestibule has plastered round arches on consoles to gallery stairs to the R and L, with moulded newel and plain balusters. Double segmental-headed doors open to the main chapel, which has a panelled plaster ceiling with ornate moulded ribs and ceiling roses. Much of a former 3-sided gallery has survived (although the sections at the far end beside the pulpit have been taken down and re-erected across the interior to make a 4-sided gallery). It has cast iron Corinthian columns, and a projecting panelled front on moulded brackets.
