Designed by award winning architect Craig Hamilton and built using traditional lime based materials on the grounds of a private lodge. This private chapel is a new build and will serve as a place of worship for up to 30 visitors. The project took a total of six months to complete and was the winner of the coveted Plaisterers Trophy in 2006.

A large portion of the work took place in the nave and vestibule involving the manufacture of a number of curved panels that form the background of the coffer. Cast in Ornate Interiors' workshop, the panels were then transported to site and fitted together like a jigsaw. Ribs were also manufactured for installation across the width and breadth of the ceiling to form a series of coffers. Joints and mitres were prepared on site. Two different sized lunettes were manufactured, each curved to the face and sides that ran between the wall columns at a radius with the ceiling coffers. Beam moulds were fitted to the apse and the vestibule end of the ceiling as well as down the sides. Roses for the nave and vestibule were clay modelled to the architect's design, poured in silicone rubber and over 60 cast in plaster and fitted. The vestibule rosettes were made in eleven separate sections and bedded in individually.
