Built in 1840-2 to the designs of Thomas Trubshaw at the expense of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The design was described by Pevsner as "architectural roguery" [ The Buildings of England: Staffordshire (1974), p.229] and by Colvin as displaying "a perverse originality" [ A biographical dictionary of British architects, 1600-1840 (3rd edn., 1995), p.995], perhaps somewhat unexpectedly since Trubshaw was a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries.

From W. Commissioned by the 1st Baron Fairhaven of Anglesey Abbey and designed by Sir Albert Richardson, Houfe and Partners, 1961-2. It was curiosity about this chapel that led me to visit the church but I felt that the chapel was not only physically cold, but aesthetically and spiritually cold too.

Heraldry carved from Welsh slate by David Kindersley, 1966; the inscription below was also carved by him in slate in 1967, with a Siena marble surround. For Fairhaven and Anglesey Abbey, see www.flickr.com/photos/40878011@N07/sets/72157625281317015... .
