Blown away by this beautiful little chapel in the village cemetery of Compton in Surrey. The inside walls are completely covered with lavish decoration in terracotta relief carving and paintings. According to the local council, it is "a unique concoction of art nouveau, Celtic, Romanesque and Egyptian influence”. My photos in no way capture the beauty and creativity that it bestows. Simply stunning!

Stunning arts and crafts chapel with wonderful terracotta detailing outside, and spectacular colour and decoration within. The unusual design by Mary Watts is like no other I've seen in the UK. The chapel is open daily, softly illuminated inside and includes a book of information in the centre of the room. The cemetery itself is very peaceful and worth a walk around while visiting. There's a small amount of parking by the road outside.

Peaceful location. Limited parking outside but generally a quiet and well maintained Chapel and cemetery. Beautiful inside the Chapel.

Went to take pictures of the chapel but unfortunately it was under renovation and it was covered in some sort of plastic wrapping, there was no information that it was under renovation. But that didn’t stop me from walking around the cemetery and taking pictures. Would recommend going in the afternoon as the sun is just shinning through the cemetery and just gives it a warm feeling.

This place is completely different from the others in England. From the outside, it reminds me of Italy, and inside we can breathe in Orthodox art mixed with Art Nouveau! Wow! I love it! 😊 I came from Godalming. (using the Google maps) The journey was not physically demanding, but it was an hour and a half of normal walking. Mostly on the sidewalk. Or on the road without much traffic. Only in one place (300 yards) it goes along a busy road. You can enjoy on the way, I admired the local residential architecture. 😉

If you're looking for something unique, please don't miss this chapel, even if it's just 5minutes out of your day. Incredible architecture which is well explained inside the Chapel. Have always found the space unlocked to enjoy. We parked at the nearby Watts Gattery and took the short 5min walk there.

This is a Pre-Raphaelite jewel by any standards. Created my Mrs Watts, who also founded a local pottery using the terracotta clay found in the area. Tiny but perfect a must see

A very beautiful interior in the Art Nouveau or Celtic Revival style. On a fine day you can enjoy a walk through the cemetery where there are some splendid trees
