The Chapel of the Sacred Heart is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons: The chapel is a well-designed and well-executed building by the architect Thomas Henry Wyatt for the 8th Earl of Denbigh. It dates from 1877-80, when Wyatt was redesigning the Earl's home at Newnham Paddox, on whose estate the chapel is situated. The building is a high-quality, French-inspired composition, expressing the Earl's Catholic faith in his family chapel. The exuberant exterior is complemented by the good quality polychrome interior scheme, which includes a highly-decorated apse. The chapel is intimately connected with its setting, playing a key role in the landscape design of the small cemetery in which it sits.

I went at 3am with a friend to find ghosts. They didn't show up.
