It is a grade II* listed building and is noted for its highly decorated interior. HistoryGreat Ormond Street Hospital was built from 1871 to 1876, and the chapel was completed in 1875.[1][2] It had been designed by Edward Middleton Barry who donated his work to the hospital in memory of one of his children who had died in infancy.[1][4] The chapel cost £60,000 to build.[5] The chapel is a small rectangle with an apse at its east end.[1] Its interior is highly decorated.[7] The chapel was consecrated on 18 November 1875 by Canon Alfred Barry, later Bishop of Sydney and Primate of Australia.[5]On 10 March 1980, the chapel was designated a grade II* listed building.[1] Due to its listed status, the chapel could not be demolished when the old hospital building was knocked down in the 1980s.[2] It was decided that the whole chapel would be moved to a new site.[2] This was done by encasing the chapel in a large, water-proof box and underpinning with a concrete raft.[2][3] Having emptied the interior of all its furniture and removed the stained glass windows, the now encased chapel was lowered from the first floor to the ground floor.[2] It was then moved by hydraulic rams to its new location;[2] this is "thought to be the largest en bloc transportation of a structure ever undertaken".[3] Six years after it was moved and after extensive renovation, the chapel was re-opened on 14 February 1994 by Diana, Princess of Wales.[2] Present dayThe chapel is open at all times.[4] There is a service of morning prayer at 10:30am during the week (Monday to Friday), and a service of Holy Communion on Wednesdays.[5] Along the rear of the chapel is a row of teddy bears and other soft toys, provided by families of ill children, known as the Teddy Bear Choir.[7] In addition, the chapel has a prayer tree where messages of hope and support can be written for sick children at the hospital, and placed on the tree.[6] InteriorThe chapel has been described as of the Franco-Italianate style and was influenced by the Renaissance Revival.[1][7] The chapel "is divided by four columns, and has a central dome, with an apse at the east end".[7] The terrazzo floor was designed by Antonio Salviati, an Italian mosaicist, and is said to be influenced by a pavement in St Mark's Basilica, Venice.[2] The interior is highly decorated with many of its images referring to childhood.[8] The central dome is "painted with musician angels around the rim and pelican in piety" in its centre.[1] The apse windows are stained glass designed by Clayton and Bell, and depict the childhood of Jesus Christ.[1] The ceiling of the apse is decorated with eight angels (Faith, Truth, Patience, Purity, Obedience, Charity, Honour and Hope) with a central roundel depicting the Lamb and flag.[1] There are a number of Bible quotes with accompanying murals decorating the walls. These include "Suffer little children to come unto me" ({{bibleref2|Luke|18:16|KJV}}) and "feed my lambs + feed my sheep" ({{bibleref2|John|21:16|KJV}}).[1][8] Above the door it states: "I was glad when they said unto me let us go into the House of the Lord" ({{bibleref2|Psalm|122:1|KJV}}) MemorialsThere are a number of memorial plaques on the walls of the chapel. They include:
