| 释义 |
The Chapel in the Wood is a chapel in the grounds of St Mary's University on Waldegrave Road in the Strawberry Hill part of Twickenham, London. The chapel is an example of early Gothic Revival architecture and is a Grade I listed building.[1] The chapel was built for Horace Walpole in 1772–74 and was in the grounds of his home, Strawberry Hill House. Subsequent building separated the chapel from the house, as the nearest parts of those grounds have been built on with what is now St Mary's University.[2] The roof is of slate[1] and the front is of Portland stone,[3] with a design inspired by a tomb in Salisbury Cathedral.[2] Sir Nikolaus Pevsner described the blue and gold vaulted ceiling as "pretty".[1] Restoration and rededicationThe chapel was restored in 1954 and rededicated to the Virgin Mary with a new statue from Italy and some new stained glass.[4] References1. ^1 2 {{NHLE |num=1253028 |desc=Chapel in the Wood |grade=I |accessdate=23 September 2016}} {{commonscatinline}}{{LB Richmond}}{{coord|51.43637|-0.33640|format=dms|type:landmark_region:GB|display=title}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url= https://francisyoung.wordpress.com/2015/05/05/strawberry-hill-the-original-fake/ |last=Young |first=Francis |title=Strawberry Hill: The Original Fake |accessdate=24 September 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web |url= http://www.victorianweb.org/art/architecture/strawberryhill/1.html |last=Eastlake |first=Charles |authorlink=Charles Eastlake |title=Horace Walpole's Taste for the Gothic: Strawberry Hill |work=The Victorian Web |accessdate=23 September 2016}} 4. ^{{cite news |url= https://web.archive.org/web/20131103083106/http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/18th-june-1954/7/the-chapel-in-the-wood-i |title=The Chapel in the Wood |newspaper=The Catholic Herald |date=18 June 1954}} 5. ^{{cite web |url= http://collections.soane.org/b10400 |title=Walpole, Horace, 4th Earl of Orford (1717–1797) |work=Sir John Soane's Museum Collection Online |accessdate=24 September 2016}} 6 : Religious buildings completed in 1774|Buildings and structures in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames|Chapels in London|Churches in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames|Gothic Revival architecture in London|Grade I listed churches in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames |
