The Memorial Chapel was designed by Patrick Allan-Fraser as a memorial to his late wife Elizabeth and her deceased parents John Fraser and Elizabeth Parrot Fraser.
Everyone who visits quickly realises that this is a remarkable building, notable for its eclectic mix of styles, including reference to Scottish, English and possibly other precedents from East European Gothic. Every part of the building is important because every part received great care in design.
Booking is essential for guided tours. Please book online at https://hospitalfield.org.uk/programme/events/.
Otherwise, please drop by to see the chapel between 11.30am and 2pm. Volunteers will be on hand to answer any questions and an optional search and find activity for kids will be available. No booking required however the chapel can only hold limited numbers at one time so waiting may be required at busy times.
The Memorial Chapel is located inside the Western Cemetery. Parking is available at East Muirlands Road.
The chapel has one step on entering and the upper levels are up a number of stairs.
