Statement of Significance

A pedimented and pilastrated chapel built in 1866 and 'enlarged and improved' between 1875 and 1882, incorporating an unusual combination of Renaissance and Romanesque detailing. The latter is primarily evident in the composition of the main entrance, with twin doors separated by a trumeau in the form of a pillar and surmounted by a semi-circular tympanum.
