We took up the cause to restore this neglected but still attractive building. The Trust was awarded a 125 years lease from the Diocese of Southwark and the restoration work was funded by English Heritage, the National Heritage Lottery Fund and local donations. The restored and converted building was opened in September 1999. Today the building is primarily for school use. It can be hired for other events during the school summer holidays. It has capacity for 60 persons seated or 100 standing. There is a fully fitted kitchen and other good facilities. If you are interested in hiring the Chapel please contact us on 8891 5455. |

The Chapel was built in the Revised Gothic style as the Anglican Chapel for Richmond’s cemetery. The Chapel became empty in 1976 and was Listed Grade II in 1990.
