TQ3182SE HAYWARDS PLACE 635-1/74/440 (North West side) 29/09/72 Woodbridge Chapel and attached railings
GV II
Independent chapel, incorporating the Clerkenwell and Islington Medical Mission. 1833. Yellow brick set in Flemish bond, stucco dressings, roof obscured by parapet. Two storeys over basement, four-window range to Haywards Place and to Woodbridge Street. Cement plinth to basement. Flat-arched entrance in slightly projecting central bay in Haywards Place with a stucco surround consisting of paired pilasters supporting entablature and blocking course; double panelled doors. Ground-floor windows segmental-arched, first-floor round-arched with stucco sill band; 8/8 sashes of original design to ground floor. Stucco band and two brick strings below parapet, which has been rebuilt. Area railings include a short run of wrought-iron railings with spearhead finials near the entrance, and a longer run of cast iron railings, probably of a later date, with urn standards and fleur-de-lys finials. The interior was formerly a single space for worship with vestibules at the ritual west end and vestries etc. north and south at the ritual east end, created by panelled and glazed screens; the fittings and gallery are later than 1833, and a ceiling has recently been inserted at gallery level. Gallery curved in plan at the west end, and carried on cast iron columns with foliage capitals; ornate iron balustrade. Ritual east end articulated by pilasters forming a round-arched arcade of three bays; pulpit centrally at east end on iron brackets and reached by steps at either side with ornate iron balusters and railings; panelled dado; pews probably of C19 date in the nave and also in the four tiers of the gallery; stairs to gallery with wreathed and ramped handrail and stick balusters; plaster panels to ceiling. (Philip Temple: Islington chapels: 1989-).
