History
The hospital originated as the County Lunatic Asylum in 1827–29. In 1865 buildings were added, including a house for the superintendent and a chapel. The architect was "apparently" T. M. Lockwood.[2] It has subsequently been converted into use as a Spiritual Centre.[3]
Architecture
The chapel is constructed in brick, with ashlar dressings and slate roofs. Its architectural style is Early English. Its plan includes a six-bay nave, a single-bay chancel, vestries, and north and south porches. At the west gable is a bellcote containing a clock. The east window has three lights, and at the west end is a two-light window.[1]
