National Trust - Sandham Memorial Chapel

The exterior of the building is very low-key, with a movie about the venue and art, a small amount of information in the church and the artist’s work, the Sanme Memorial Church is small, but the artwork is impressive, essentially the artist’s work on the First World War.

Sandham Memorial Chapel was commissioned by Mary and Louis Behrend as a memorial to Mary’s brother, Lieutentant Henry Willoughby Sandham, who died at the end of World War One. It was designed by Lionel Pearson in the 1920s and was built to accommodate a series of paintings by Stanley Spencer inspired by his own experiences of the war.
