Holywell Workhouse Chapel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Holywell Workhouse Chapel was built in association with Holywell Workhouse in Old Chester Road, Holywell, Flintshire, Wales (grid reference SJ189750). It was built, together with some "vagrants' wards" for the workhouse, in 1883–84 to a design by the Chester architect John Douglas.[1]
The chapel is built in stone with a slate roof and has a shingled flèche. The workhouse later became Lluesty Hospital.[2] The chapel is a listed building.[3]
