Terror Chapel - November 2015

[mockingbird]

So with some time to kill a few weeks back I headed here, despite me wanting a well deserved break from all this decay, work has been stressful to say the least an I fancied taking the camera for a walk, so I shot over to this place.

The seminary attached to it is either in use or people are living illegally, either way is occupied and to be honest the place didnt interest me at all due to this, maybe when they all leave for vacation

Joined to a seminary, this chapel sits hidden amongst the foliage, the chapel itself is of gothic construction built in 1875, now home to doves pink granite of somesort is the material for the pillars, the floor bird muck. The ceiling near the center stage is the best part of this place.

After getting the shots we decided to leave, as we did the smell of spices an other herbs instantly made us more hungry... word of caution anyone going, best you leave the other site well alone.

On with the pictures.

I am struggling to say how good this is. Churches/Chapels have so many fine details and you've found them all here it seems. I'm interested in your choice of title.

I agree I'm a total sucker for Victorian Gothic chapels, all down to Pugin (he of Houses of Parliament fame) who heavily promoted Gothic revival architecture after rejecting the early Victorian penchant for neo classical Greek and Roman religious architecture which he considered to be blasphemous, neither the Greeks nor the Romans being Christian.

I'm not really a complete geek, I only know this through having stewardship of a Gothic chapel myself!

Anyway thanks mockingbird.

Certainly not something id usually explore on a weekly basis, but I was close by so thanks!
As for the name they was in the local papers many moons ago for being naughty
