Report - St Cadocs hospital chapel - Caerleon - March 22

St Cadocs Chapel

​

I know many have done the hospital (not reported it myself) but tucked away in the corner & seemingly never reported is this rather nice chapel / church.
TBH I know its rarely open as Iv been here several times myself & only cracked it on our last visit, Despite typically being used for storing hospital junk & having a horrible stud wall right through the middle of it, it still retains some charm.

​

I can literally find nothing about this place, I believe its just known as St Cadocs Chapel & assume it was built at around the same time as the hospital 1906, but thats it so anyone with any further info would be gratefully recieved..
This is what we found

Thanks For looking​

It is the chapel associated with the hospital, built at same time. The stud wall is because it became a 'mixed faith' facility towards end of its lifespan. Am not sure if that was just CoE/Catholic or other religions

It's not really changed since Disco Kitten was in there nearly 20 years ago, which is impressive given the area..

Brilliant stuff. Couldn't find a way in earlier this year. Links nicely to my report I've half written coming shortly!

Nice little chapel. Some good features still there, makes for good images. I dont like the fact that the hospital dumped its junk there though!

yes that would all make sense.
20yr ago wow, fortunately it has escaped getting battered but guess its pretty well looked after

Not the first one Iv seen like this, pretty much any unused buildings on hospital grounds get filled with stuff

That stud wall is one of the more architecturally offensive things I've seen recently.
