Neo-Norman. Moulded plinth supporting 3 pairs of octagonal turrets, with bracketed parapet, raised as gable over centre, with moulded parapet and pedestal. Two paired round headed lancets either side of centre piers, with cill band, and 3 roll moulded orders. Central multi-order window surround taken down to plinth, with 3 lights with intersecting heads. Giant arches to left and to right frame traceried plank and stud doors with attached column and moulded surrounds, with Lombard frieze over. Plain side and rear elevations. The width of main elevation a result of this being the side of the chapel. Interior: large, unaisled space, with arcaded galleries on end walls, little decoration apart from window mouldings and cornice. The architect and client (Reverend James Matlock Daniell) originally intended a belfry, objected to by Trinity House, who had already donated £1,000 to St. Georges (see item 9/62 ).
