St Michael's Chapel, Lancaster Moor Hospital

Church in Lancashire, England

St Michael's Chapel is the former Anglican chapel to Lancaster Moor Hospital, to the east of Lancaster, Lancashire, England. It was built in 1866 to a design by the local architect E. G. Paley.[1] Its architectural style is Neo-Norman.[2] The chapel is constructed in sandstone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof. Its plan is cruciform, consisting of a nave with a west porch, north and south transepts, and a chancel with an apsidal east end. The windows are round-headed with voussoirs of alternating red and yellow sandstone. Both transepts contain a rose window above two single-light windows.[3] Since becoming redundant the chapel has been converted into flats.[2] The former chapel is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[3]
