St Peter’s Lady Chapel is a unique collection of accomplished early 20th century decorative art. Rededicated as a War Memorial in 1921, the Chapel’s is home to wall paintings by Henry Charles Brewer RI, fine Charles Kempe stained glass, work by Leonard Shuffrey, and, just outside the Chapel, a painting by notable Pre-Raphaelite, Edward Arthur Fellowes Prynne.
We marked the Chapel’s rededication centenary by undertaking a full restoration and upgrade. Key work included restoring the wall painting, windows and floor, repairing and painting the walls and conserving the painted ceiling. The project has preserved the Chapel’s remarkable heritage and provided a venue for activities benefitting a wide variety of local people.
Work on the conservation was concluded in September 2022. A major community heritage weekend, Angels in Ealing was launched on 1st and 2nd October 2022.
