Description

The Sailors' Chapel is a Grade I listed building known for its good quality coursed masonry. It features a modern red tiled roof with 19th-century verge parapets and a Celtic form finial cross. There are small unglazed cinquefoil apertures to the crypt on the north and south sides, with the crypt entrance located on the east. The chapel entrance is accessed by a flight of steps on the west side. A single trefoil-headed window is situated on the south, and there are a pair of similar lights on the east.

Inside, there is a plain stone altar, believed to have originated from St Twinnel's, although its surface tooling is entirely modern. A simple small piscina is present, and some medieval encaustic tiles have been relaid in a modern pattern within the altar rail. The altar rail is supported on pierced oak panels. An effigy of an unidentified ecclesiastic is positioned near the south wall. The chapel also features Victorian stained glass, with the east window depicting the miracle of Christ walking upon the Sea.
