St Marys Bridge Chapel, Bridge chapel in Derby, England
St Marys Bridge Chapel stands on the first arch of a medieval bridge over the River Derwent, next to the 18th-century St Mary's Bridge.
The chapel, established in the late 13th or early 14th century, features a timber-framed gable above a 15th-century stone-mullioned window with modern leaded lights.
The interior contains a lychnoscope in the north wall, which allowed the congregation to view services from outside during medieval times.
The chapel now serves Anglican, Lutheran, and Russian Orthodox congregations, with regular services held throughout the week.
This Grade I listed structure is one of only six remaining bridge chapels in England and previously functioned as both a prison and carpenter's workshop.
