To left six-panel door with two-pane transom light, with architrave. No.3 retains glazing-bar sashes, with paired twelve-pane dormer above twelve-pane with separate balconettes and twelve-pane, with sixteen-pane to basement windows with grilles.

No.1 has full height canted bay with plain sashes, some blind. INTERIORS: Not inspected. HISTORY: Part of a relatively low-status row designed by Wood the Elder as part of the western extension of the city. The houses were first rated in 1734. Unlike remainder of terrace, this group of three, which is stepped slightly above next group, has retained domestic fenestration at ground floor. Street name derives from chapel built by Wood nearby, off Queen Square, in 1732, and demolished in 1875.
