Hanover Chapel, by Thomas H. Shepherd (1828)

Hanover Chapel was a church in Regent Street, London. It was built in 1825, and was demolished in 1896.

History

The building was situated in Regent Street between Hanover Street and Prince's Street.[1] It was designed by Charles Robert Cockerell; the first stone was laid on 6 June 1823, and it was completed in 1825.[2]

William Carnaby was organist from its opening until his death in 1839;[3] in that year Charles Lucas was appointed organist.[4] The incumbent was for many years the Reverend Joseph George Brett (father of William Brett, 1st Viscount Esher).[5]

Edward Walford wrote in 1878: "... it is of the Ionic order, and in its internal arrangement somewhat resembles St Stephen's Church, Walbrook. The altar is enriched with carved work, and the fabric generally forms a fine architectural display, though utterly unsuited to a church."[1]

The chapel was demolished in 1896, and Regent House ( a Grade II listed building, at Шаблон:Gbmapping, coordinates Шаблон:Coord[6]) was built on the site. There is a plaque attached to the building on the left of the original entrance door, informing that Hanover Chapel formerly stood on the site. Regent House now contains the London Apple Store.[7]
