  1. Have passed this place so often 'en route' to other places and am so pleased we decided to stop for once and see what's here. Stunning is the only word which comes to mind on opening the doors.

  2. Mr Blunt may have wondered how Mrs Watts contirved to produce this masterpiece, but isn't it obvious? She was a talented and clever woman with a strong vision. This chapel is food for the soul. Wonderful indeed. Thank you Compton Parish Council for looking after it

  10. I wrote about your beautiful chapel in my dissertation, comparing it with the chapel in Abramtsevo village not far from Moscow which was built in the same year & has a similar stule and story. I am so happy to see Watts Chapel in the flesh now. It's a great piece of Art Noveau (Arts & Craft) style in England

  23. Thank you for visiting The Watts Chapel Website and if you haven't already visited the Chapel, we hope you will be inspired to do so. The Chapel is well worth the trip and can be combined with a visit to St Nicholas Church and Watts Gallery (re-opens in 2011). There are a number of walks, one of which links up to Loseley Park. You may wish to stop off for lunch or elevenses at Watts Tea Shop (open), The Withies or The Harrow. Loseley Park also has a Tea Shop.
