Church of the Immaculate Conception, Scarthingwell

The church was constructed in 1854 to a design by John Bownas and William Atkinson.

It was commissioned by Edward William Hawke-Harvey, 4th Baron Hawke, as a private chapel for his seat, Scarthingwell Hall.

The hall was demolished in 1960, but the chapel survived as a Roman Catholic church.

[1][2] The church is in the Norman style, built of limestone, with a slate roof.

Inside, there is highly decorative plasterwork and a wooden gallery at the west end, reached by a staircase, which originally housed the family pew, but now contains an organ.
