Wolford Chapel, British religious building in Dunkeswell, England
The stone chapel contains a rectangular plan with limestone details, slate roof, and traditional architectural elements from the early 19th century period.
John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, commissioned the construction of this chapel in 1802 near his Wolford Lodge estate.
The chapel serves as the final resting place for John Graves Simcoe, his wife Elizabeth, and several of their children, representing a connection between England and Canada.
Visitors can access the chapel during daylight hours, with parking facilities available and a 10-minute drive from Honiton town center.
Despite its location in rural England, this chapel belongs to the Ontario Heritage Trust and flies the Canadian flag on its grounds.
