Place & story
Classical details and a lit interior
The Convent of Mercy chapel at The Park, Beaumont Woods, dates from about 1920. A square lantern covered in copper rises from its slate roof, topped by an orb and cross. The rounded southern apse carries classical pilasters and decorative swags outside, with sculpted plaster ribs inside. The architectural survey records the retained marble high altar, timber parquet floor and an organ gallery projecting above the entrance end. [2]
