Capernwray Chapel, Gothic Revival church in Over Kellet, England
The sandstone chapel features a five-stage tower with clasping buttresses, adorned with gargoyles and a pyramidal roof topped by a weather vane.
Edmund Sharpe designed the rectangular chapel in 1840, while E.G. Paley added the tower and chancel during the 1856 expansion project.
The structure shifted from a private chapel for Capernwray Hall to an independent Evangelical gathering space, reflecting changes in local religious practices.
Located near Capernwray Hall, the Grade II listed building maintains regular service schedules and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture.
During World War II, the chapel provided spiritual support to students from Ripley St Thomas School who were evacuated to Capernwray Hall.
