Morenish Chapel

A Category B listed former memorial chapel, built in the Arts and Crafts style. It was commissioned in 1902 by Aline Elizabeth Todd, wife of Sir Joseph White Todd, Baronet, in memory of her daughter Elvira Todd Henderson who died in childbirth. Aline and Joseph are buried at Morenish in two highly decorative bronze sarcophagi in the grounds of the chapel. Morenish Chapel is a fine example of a memorial chapel with a richly symbolic crafted Arts and Craft decoration to the interior and highly decoration sarcophagi to the exterior. The building was executed to a high specification for its scale and location; with a wealth of architectural treatment and attention to detail to its interior and exterior. For many years the building was unused and neglected, but has now been purchased for use as a family holiday home. The new owners are enthusiastic about the building and wish to install a bathroom and bedroom while retaining the original features.
