Full description
Trelawne Chapel was built (or re-built) in 1703 and later enlarged (b3). The extent of the remains is unrecorded, though OS say that it is 'very well preserved' (h1).
The present chapel was built by J.P. St Aubyn in 1874. Before replastering the rear wall of the chapel showed clearly where the stair case had come up and the doorway shows the floor height of the then landing. Before 1874 the door gave access to what became the billiard room and library. The Bishop's chapel was further forward than the present one, level with the entrance porch. It was entered by a central door down a couple of steps off the stair landing. In 1836 the chapel was described as having 'a beautifully vaulted roof of carved oak that had been painted with many a curious device of fantastic ornaments; angels playing musical instruments, grotesque heads on the spandrils, the apex, or the groinings of the arches'. Some of the stone corbels are finely carved while others appear unfinished. The angels also appear older than the C19 and they once stood on corbels rather than being suspended as they are now (8).
