Rotherwas Chapel is a 13th-century chapel located in Herefordshire, England. The chapel is a rare example of a surviving medieval chapel and features a unique blend of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles. Its exterior is constructed from local sandstone and is adorned with intricate carvings, while the interior boasts a stunning array of medieval wall paintings and ornate stone tombs. The chapel's tranquil atmosphere and historic significance make it a fascinating and peaceful destination for visitors.
The Rotherwas Chapel has been very well maintained & looked after. Lovely & peaceful place for a walk while having the time to clear your head. If you want to enter the chapel you will need to collect the key, see attached photo of the heritage sign with the location.
You need a key to collect from the nearby archive centre (5mins by bike or 2 mins by car). The exterior isnt very impressive but inside is worth going to get the key. There's an antique clock, bell tower and a beautiful wooden altar.
Tucked out of the way and with no car park. To visit the interior you need to collect the key. The clock on the tower is an early single hand example.
Gorgeous peaceful place. Nice walk from town to get there (no parking on site, but worth the walk).
Unless you're prepared to go and fetch the key from in town, on the correct days and times, don't bother.
Not really a lot to see and you do have to go and collect the key from elsewhere if you want to go inside. Parking is not ideal but I don't think you'd get so many people there at any one time that you couldn't park up. I'd say pop by and have a look if your passing but it's not a tourist destination unless your interested in the architecture of the building.
