Former Church of St Matthew, Grade II listed church building in Normanton, England
The Former Church of St Matthew rises from Rutland Water with classical architectural elements, including a Corinthian-style tower and western portico at its entrance.
The structure underwent reconstruction in 1826 under architect Thomas Cundy, transforming the medieval building into a private chapel for the Earls of Ancaster family.
The church maintains its connection to local heritage through civil ceremonies and concerts, providing a space for community gatherings in this water-surrounded location.
Access to the Former Church of St Matthew requires following a causeway that connects the structure to the shoreline of Rutland Water.
The lower section of the church contains stone and rubble fill with a concrete cap below window level, preventing submersion when reservoir water levels rise.
