ABOUT THIS BUILDING
A chapel-cum-school surviving as an interesting relic of the Newbridge Barracks complex with the architectural value of the composition confirmed by such attributes as the elongated rectilinear plan form; the construction in a "sparrow pecked" deep grey limestone with sheer dressings demonstrating good quality workmanship; the slender profile of the openings underpinning a "medieval" Gothic theme with those openings showing pretty margined lattice glazing patterns; and the high pitched roof shorn of its once eye-catching bellcote.
Having been reasonably well maintained, the form and massing survive intact together with substantial quantities of the original fabric, both to the exterior and to the restrained interior where a Queen post roof construction pinpoints the engineering or technical dexterity of a chapel-cum-school making a pleasing visual statement in Main Street.
