Last Wednesday, 25th January, we were given access to the inside of the chapel which had been boarded up. Thanks to Teignbridge’s Matheu Gladman for coming out to let us in.
Here are a few photos:
There is no electricity inside the chapel. There are still gaslight fittings in place
Beautiful trifoliate windows boarded up. Is it my imagination or can anyone else see an image of a face in the bottom right-hand side of the trefoil? You may ned to click and zoom the photo.
Window together with gaslight (complete with bowl)
And phantasmagoria ….. don’t know how this happened!
The place seems structurally intact (completely dry) but is full of rubbish.
And has a wonderful wooden ceiling, although this photo doesn’t do it justice:
But have a look at these beautiful late Victorian stained-glass windows:
They contain memorials to at least two women interred in the cemetery in late 19th century. We are trying to find out who Eleanor Anne Pell and Sophia Eliza Drake were.
