This chapel is the last surviving building of a hospital for homeless people founded by Henry VII in 1512. Hidden behind the hotel down Savoy Street, its angular Tudor lines and grand windows give the chapel a distinctive appearance suited to this upmarket part of town. Incidentally, it was the first place of worship to ever have electricity.
The chapel is a remarkable piece of the infamous Duchy of Lancaster portfolio. Being the property of the Queen any expenses incurred by the chapel are borne by the monarchy. The chapel ceiling was restored to its rich splendour in honour of the Golden Jubilee. At the same time, the vibrant, elegant gardens were landscaped.
500 years later this enduring chapel is still providing spiritual guidance to the community. Members of the public are most welcome to join services at the chapel and all money received in collection is donated to charity. |
