Biddlestone RC Chapel, Gothic Revival chapel in Biddlestone, England.
The stone chapel features three bays, a Lakeland slate roof, Y-tracery windows, and medieval masonry from an original pele tower.
Architect John Dobson designed the Roman Catholic chapel in 1856, incorporating materials from a thirteenth-century defensive tower that previously occupied the site.
The interior walls display heraldic stained glass crests representing the Selby family, along with inscriptions from the Psalms at the eastern section.
The Historic Chapels Trust manages the Grade II* listed building, which requires specific permissions for any modifications to maintain its historical structure.
During World War II, the tunnel-vaulted basement of the former tower was converted into an air raid shelter with corrugated iron reinforcements.
