EDITORS COMMENTS
The Chapel at the Old Palace in Croydon, Surrey, as depicted in this beautiful 1912 postcard, offers a captivating glimpse into the rich heritage of this historic building. Located in the heart of Croydon, this chapel is a stunning example of the architectural beauty and craftsmanship of the 16th century. The interior of the chapel is adorned with intricately carved wooden beams, each one a testament to the skilled artisans who labored over their creation. The timber ceiling, with its delicate patterns and elegant curves, adds a sense of grandeur and sophistication to the space. The large, arched windows, bathed in soft, natural light, create an ethereal atmosphere, filling the chapel with a warm, inviting glow. The Old Palace in Croydon, where this chapel is located, was originally built as a residence for the Bishops of Winchester in the late 15th century. Over the centuries, it has served various functions, including as a school and a courthouse, before being restored and converted into a museum and art gallery in the late 19th century. This postcard, taken in 1912, captures the chapel in its timeless beauty, transporting us back to a bygone era. The intricate details of the wooden beams, the graceful curves of the ceiling, and the soft, filtered light streaming through the windows, all combine to create an image that is as enchanting today as it was over a century ago.
