Chapel at The Mount

tumble112 · Dec 18, 2014

A small private chapel built around 1850 for the Johnstone family of nearby Carnsalloch House (also derelict).
In a pretty poor state, but still with many nice features. More https://www.flickr.com/photos/107793356@N06/sets/72157649527411692/

Its likely it is a listed building so has some protection from developers etc, for myself I think it is beautiful as it is.

The tiles are lovely, didn't realise I'd got one of my size 10s in picture. (Clearing stuff out the way with my feet at the time).

Thanks a lot, for such a small building there are so many nice features. Apparently it's a Crypt as well.

What a lovely location. Obviously not what it once was, but it has a certain tranquility about it : )

Thank you

crypt aswell you say?! Stunning. Nice find there

Are there any manor houses or old convents in the local area?

It seems ideally situated for a hideaway and being a church, possibly inconspicuous.

Yeah I agree, looks like a private chapel for a big manor or estate to me.

Yes there is Carnsalloch House close by, I posted it on here in April as Mansion CH, there are also other reports on he house which you will find using the search bar. The Chapel was built for the family of the house. I'm not aware of a tunnel, what a find that would be!

Oh great - has there been any investigation to a tunnel? It seems strange that it was built as such a distance from the house which makes one think there must be something. Old manors are well known for their secret doors and false walls. Used by servants and children playing hide & seek
