1/73 Chapel to Sundorne - Castle

- II

Chapel. Early C19, possibly incorporating parts of re-used medieval work. Red brick and sandstone ashlar, tiled roof and verge parapets. Simple rectangular plan, unusually entered in the centre of the north side. This elevation facing towards the complex of farm buildings (q.v.) is in red brick with a coved plaster C17-style eaves band; small gabled porch with round-arch entrance and boarded door to otherwise blind walls; by contrast, the south or approach elevation appears more authentically medieval in ashlar and of 3 bays on a moulded plinth, divided by gabletted 2-stage buttresses surmounted by crocketed pinnacles and with a crenellated parapet between; each bay is fenestrated by labelled pointed 2-light windows of Decorated style. Interior: arch braces to collared trusses, double purlins with cusped windbraces; crested ogee inner arch to east window, encaustic tile floor, stained glass to east window only. The chapel was formerly connected to a structure now demolished to the west; a blocked gallery arch and paired entrances remain.
