Background
History
The chapel was built in 1722 to a design by John Ward in neoclassical style and restored in 1886–88 by Mrs Augusta Bromley Davenport. The restoration led to the interior becoming much more ornate.
Architecture
The manorial pew is on a raised platform at the west end; it is reached by a private door from the park grounds. During the restoration the box pews were removed, the pulpit was moved, the wall panelling was raised in height and a panelled ceiling was added. A mosaic reredos was added in the apse, which was manufactured by Salviati and is loosely based on Giotto's Dormition. The font dates from 1772, is made of coloured marble and consists of a bowl resting on three legs, each with a clawed foot. The vaults contain the remains of John Ward, the builder, and members of the Bromley Davenport family.
