Undercroft, church and ancillary rooms in a small wing at west end of each side, over which the main roof sweeps down. EXTERIOR: the symmetrical west front has corner turrets with eaves lower than those to the church; each turret has double boarded doors in moulded pointed-arched stone openings. 3 mullioned 3-light windows to basement in railed area between turrets. The main gable-end is of 3 bays divided by moulded stone projections; 2 lancets to lower part of each bay; a Geometrical 2-light window to upper part of each bay, the central window being tall. Steep stone-coped gable. The corner turrets diminish to octagons in plan immediately beneath the boldly projecting eaves of spires. 3 bays to each side have triple lancets, stone-dressed in recessed arched brick panels; the bays divided by stone-dressed buttresses. The north and south wings have cross-windows in their west faces. 2 louvred and gabled lucarnes on each slope of main roof. INTERIOR has a west gallery. Detailing is simple. The chapel is an important element of the excellently-composed group of buildings east of Grosvenor Park Road by John Douglas. (Hubbard E: The Work of John Douglas: London: 1991-: 114, 249-50).
