Chapel & Dining Hall
North of Parliament Sq is the 1799 Chapel MAP GOOGLE MAP ( 896 1260) , designed by
William Chambers and featuring fine plasterwork by Michael Stapleton, Ionic columns
and painted-glass windows. It has been open to all denominations since 1972 and is only
accessible by organised tour. Next is the Dining Hall MAP GOOGLE MAP (Parliament Sq;
closed to public) , originally built by Richard Cassels in the mid-18th century. The great archi-
tect must have had an off day because the vault collapsed twice and the entire structure
was dismantled 15 years later. The replacement was completed in 1761, but extensively
restored after a fire in 1984.
