Chapel at Crosby Moran Hall
London, UK
The New chapel within The Great Hall is designed in the Perpendicular style, with the existing walls carefully built-out to incorporate stone details at lower levels and fibrous plaster details at the upper levels. The new internal windows in the eastern wall have stone tracery with stained glass. The floors throughout are laid with marble and stone in a manner of the 'Cosmati Pavement' at Westminster Abbey. The ceiling is fan vaulted and made of fibrous plaster with the exception of the five main ribs, which are of stone.
The Great Hall is the surviving original part of Crosby Moran Hall, a medieval merchant’s mansion that was originally located on Bishopsgate in the City of London. Once home to the future Richard III, Sir Thomas More and several Lord Mayors of London, this rare survivor of the Great Fire of 1666 is now the only surviving example of a medieval City merchant’s house. It was moved and re-erected on the site of the gardens of Sir Thomas More’s Chelsea home on Cheyne Walk in 1909 and a series of buildings built around it, most of which have been demolished. The property became a private residence in the late 1980s and a team of specialists have created a new setting for the Hall with buildings and a courtyard that appear to date from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
