1. 5230 HOUND ROYAL VICTORIA HOSPITAL
Chapel in the grounds of the Royal Victoria Hospital (formerly listed as the Chapel of The Royal Victoria Hospital) SU 40 NE 8/160 9.4.74
II*
2. 1856-63, by Mennie (War Department Surveyor). A large structure which once occupied an axial position at the rear of the enormously long-fronted military hospital, which faced Southampton Water. The hospital has been demolished, leaving the chapel with an unfinished wall on its south-west side. Classical treatment of simple rectangle with a tower making the former link to the main blocks. Eight bays to the sides, divided by pilasters supporting a blind arcade, within which are round-headed narrow windows; the Tuscan Order details are in stone, with keystones to the arcade, and a granite plinth, main walling in red brick (Flemish bond). North ("east-end") front of 1.3.1 windows, again with all the trimmings of a Roman Tuscan Order, with the gable treated as a pediment. The tower is massive, the square base rising above roof height; the ornamental upper treatment starts with broaches, above which the tower becomes octagonal. Above a cornice, the stone structure has stepped back walling, which then supports a pavilion of open arches, within an architectural framework of keystone, architraves, pilasters and entablature on brackets; above this is a cupola surmounted by a classical finial. The building retains its status of a Royal Chapel.
