The Chapel of St John the Baptist

The Grade II* listed Chapel of St. John the Baptist was built in 1897 to the designs of Sir Ernest Guy Dawber, latterly the president of the RIBA, recipient of the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, and founder of the Council for the Protection of Rural England. The chapel is one of Dawber’s rare departures from domestic work, and is considered to be one of his finest buildings.

Repairs were carried out to several other key areas including external doors and windows, and a new entrance gate was made to match Dawber’s original which had been decayed due to poorly implemented previous repairs.
