Rotherwas Chapel

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A family chapel of the Bodenham family, dating in part to the medieval period. The chapel features an Elizabethan timber roof, a very striking 18th century tower topped by a peculiar spire, and extravagant Victorian-era interior paintings. The Victorian remodelling of Rotherwas Chapel was the work of Peter Paul Pugin and EW Pugin.

The chapel existed as early as the 14th century but the bulk of what survives dates to the 16th century, save the three-stage tower, which is entirely Victorian, and rather oddly proportioned compared to the older parts of the building. It is built of sandstone rubble dressed with sandstone. The interior features a three-bay nave and a chancel with two chapels.
