Eaton Chapel, Gothic Revival chapel in Eaton Hall, England
The Eaton Chapel features pink and buff sandstone bands, grey slate roofs, and a free-standing tower with a clock stage topped by pinnacles.
The construction of the chapel started in 1869 under architect Alfred Waterhouse, after Hugh Grosvenor inherited the estate and initiated a major rebuilding project.
The private chapel serves the Grosvenor family for ceremonies including christenings and memorial services, with Christmas carol concerts held each December.
The chapel contains a functional two-manual organ built by Charles Whiteley of Chester in 1870, positioned in an alcove on the chancel's south side.
The clock tower houses a carillon of 28 bells, cast by Chavalier Severian Van Aerschodt of Louvain, adding musical capabilities to the structure.
