Black and white image by Leslie Chapman showing the interior of the Norman Chapel in the grounds of Lotherton Hall. It looks east from the nave, through the square opening where the chancel arch would have been, to the chancel. The large chest carved with Biblical scenes serves as the alter. It was purchased by Colonel Gascoigne of Lotherton Hall from a Lutheran Church at Cuxhaven in Germany in the early part of the twentieth century. A glimpse of light through the opening to the chantry is from an original Norman window in the east wall, however it had been widened at a later date. The chapel was restored by Colonel and Mrs. Gascoigne between 1913 and 1917. It became a place of worship for wounded soldiers of the Great War when convalescing at Lotherton Hall. The hall was used as a V.A.D. hospital between 1914 and 1918. | License: | http://www.leodis.net/article.aspx?id=12 | Rights holder: | Leeds Central Library | Subjects: | Lotherton Hall Norman chapel war Gascoigne | Source: | Leodis - A photographic archive of Leeds | Identifier: | http://www.leodis.net/display.aspx?id=20... | Go to resource |
