built in 1762-3, the chapel resembles many english ones of its date, but has not been so much affected by the changes that the c19 brought elsewhere, retaining the pulpit as the main focus, with the royal arms of what was after all a german king above, and a decalogue that wouldn't seem out of place in any wren church until one reads it.

the sole nod to higher church practices of the c19 in this unspoiled c18 chapel is the altar table under the pulpit, with this reredos and jugendstil cross, which seem to date from c.1900
