About this Event
Eyre Chantry Chapel
An example of mid-19th century Gothic Catholic Revival architecture. Built between 1859-1863 as a burial place and chantry chapel for John Lewis Eyre (1789-1880) and his wife Augustine Pulcherie (1797-1876). The architect was Charles Francis Hansom (1816-1888) of Bristol. His older brother Joseph was the inventor of the Hansom Cab. Charles was an accomplished architect in the Gothic revival tradition, strongly influenced by Pugin.
