St John's Road Matlock Dale
Matlock Bath, England
St John the Baptist Church, located in Matlock Dale, Derbyshire, is a remarkable Arts and Crafts chapel built over a century ago by local resident Louisa Harris. Nestled into a cliff face overlooking the Derwent Valley World Heritage Site, the church features exquisite ornamental plasterwork by George Bankart and a stunning east window created by Louis Davis, the last of the Pre-Raphaelites.
This unique chapel showcases elegant woodwork and is surrounded by a picturesque landscape, making it a significant site for both its architectural beauty and historical value. A small brass plaque dedicated to Vida, Harris's beloved dog, adds a personal touch to this enchanting venue.
