Description
The Chapel at the North Wales Hospital is an asylum chapel built in a restrained Victorian Gothic style. It features random grey-brown rubble with freestone dressings and slate roofs. The building has an aisleless nave with transepts and a polygonal eastern end that includes gabled windows and a square projecting sanctuary. At the crossing, there is an octagonal wooden bellcote topped with a slated fleche that has gablets and a wrought-iron finial.
The west end of the chapel has a four-light window with geometrical tracery, while the nave windows are designed with two-light geometrical tracery. The north and south porches contain doors with ornate hinges and four cusped-light windows facing west. The transepts are supported by stepped buttresses and feature a three-light window with geometrical tracery. The eastern end has three-light windows with intersecting tracery and gables above, along with two-light windows with cinquefoils to the east of these. The projecting sanctuary includes a three-light eastern window with geometrical tracery and stepped buttresses. At the time of inspection, all the eastern end windows containing stained glass were boarded internally and externally.
Inside, the chapel has a simple design with an open scissor roof supported by iron tie-bars and a wooden panelled screen at the eastern end. The eastern window features stained glass created by James Ballantine in 1861, and stained glass is present in all eastern end windows except for the southeast window.
