Visit Rodborough Tabernacle’s Little Chapel – a fine example of Arts and Crafts Movement design.

Situated on the edge of Rodborough Common near Stroud, Rodborough Tabernacle’s Little Chapel was converted in 1925 from the former coach house under the direction of the renowned Arts and Crafts Movement architect, Sidney Barnsley who had set up a workshop in Sapperton after moving to the area from London in the 1890’s. The resulting interior, executed by superb craftsmen, is a fine example of Arts and Crafts Movement design.

Besides being used for services, weddings etc, the Little Chapel is also open regularly to visitors interested in its Arts and Crafts Movement associations or as a place of spirituality and quiet reflection. Individuals or groups are always welcome.

An explanatory leaflet on the Little Chapel and its links with the Arts and Crafts Movement are available in the Chapel and can be dowloaded as an Adobe pdf file by clicking on the link below.
