This was the chapel for the Bishops of London when they occupied Fulham Palace up until 1973. The Palace and its grounds are now open to the public. The current chapel was designed by William Butterfield and built 1866-1867. Much of the polychromatic brickwork was obscured after WW2 by the murals painted by pupils at Byam Shaw Art School. The reredos is now on the entrance wall. The east window is by Ninian Comper , the rest by Clayton & Bell.
