Description

The Chapel of The Cathedral School is a Grade II listed building featuring external walls made of polychromatic stone arranged in regular courses. The stone is primarily grey, with a brown course at the cill and springer levels, and includes a heavy grey plinth, string, and cornice bands. The windows are dressed with Bath stone, and the roof is covered with Welsh slate.

The chapel has an apsidal southeast end that displays five narrow lancet windows, each topped with gables. The southwest wall features one lancet window and two two-centred two-light windows, which have trefoil-headed lights and an additional trefoil in the window head. There is a single two-light window in the northeast wall, where it connects to the main house. The northwest gable showcases a three-light Decorated window with a sexfoil head, and the gable is coped with an apex cross, along with a second cross on the apsed end.

Internally, the chapel has plastered walls and a three-bay timber roof supported by arch-braced collars and kingposts, with two tiers of purlins. The rafters rest on carved stone corbels. At the west end, there is a screen, and the altar is topped with a sounding board.
