Langstone Towers and St Nicolas' Chapel
Situated almost at the end of Langstone High Street Hampshire, about 100 metres from the sea. (See the note).
Both were built around 1869 by Henry Williams Jeans (astronomer and mathematics master at the Royal Navy College in Portsmouth). The chapel is a mission chapel to St Faith's Church, Havant.
As far as I know, the house is currently divided into two self-contained flats. The Chapel, despite being attached to the house, has always been a public place of worship, and services are still held there at least monthly. It is also used as a community centre.
It has quite a history. In the First World War it was used as a rest home and Red Cross hospital and just after the start of WWII, it was lived in by the novelist Neville Shute who moved there in autumn 1939. During the war, the house was commandeered by the Ministry of Defence and Sir Barnes Wallis, the inventor of the bouncing bomb had an office there for a while.

This street (and the houses and pub on the waterfront) have always been prone to flooding, no matter the weather or time of year and the residents have sorted out excellent flood protection measures over the years.
When visiting the pub during the floods, people just wear wellies in the bar!
