SU8604 : St John's Ceiling Rose
taken 5 years ago, near to Chichester, West Sussex, Great Britain

St John's Ceiling Rose
The ceiling of St John's was originally plastered and sported three large rosettes along its main axis. When this began to collapse in 1927 it was taken down and replaced with varnished pine matchboarding. Only the central rosette was retained. The ceiling has been subsequently painted. Gilding was added to the rosette during the 2003 restoration. [Information from a book by Alan H J Green published by the Churches Conservation Trust in 2006].
Chapel of St John the Evangelist, Chichester
The foundation stone was laid in 1812 and the building completed in 1813. In 1955 it was united with the benefice of St Pancras. It was declared redundant in 1973 and in 1976 passed into the care of the Redundant Churches Fund, now the Churches Conservation Trust. It is Grade I listed Link
Since 1992 it has been used as concert venue. Major restoration work took place in 2003. More information can be found the website of the Friends of St John's Chapel Link
