History
editThe chapel was built in the grounds of the mansion in Carlett Park in 1884–85 to a design by the Chester architect John Douglas.[2] The chapel was commissioned by the owner of the mansion, Revd W. E. Torr, who was a canon of Chester Cathedral and the vicar of Eastham.[3]
Architecture
editThe chapel is built in red sandstone.[2] It has bands of lighter stone and a slate roof. Its plan consists of a continuous nave and chancel with a north transept. At the northwest is an octagonal bell-turret with a spire. Over the entrance is a canopied niche containing a figure of the Good Shepherd.[1] The windows are lancets and the interior has ashlar stone.[2] The windows contain stained glass by Kempe and by E. Frampton. Internally, framing the east window, are mosaic panels.[1]
