<p style="text-align: justify;">The upper floor of a brick building in the grounds of Harvington was converted into a chapel in 1743. The chapel is accessed by an external staircase.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a title="Georgian Chapel" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/-cherrypie-/36816178100/in/dateposted-public/"><img class="aligncenter" src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4405/36816178100_484d51742f.jpg" alt="Georgian Chapel" width="500" height="334" /></a></p>
<blockquote>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In 1823 this was badly damaged by fire and the original altar of oak was destroyed, together with some chalices and other relics which had been found inside it a few months before. After repairs it became the village school until 1913. iN 1986-7 it was restored and reopened for worship. It now contains a Georgian chamber-organ, altar and rails. Into the altar is set the original cracked and fire-blackened altar-stone. The altar-piece is the 17th-century Virgin and Child with Saints after Baroccio. In the sacristy is a Regency vestment-press which probably came from the chapel at Grafton Manor, just outside Bromsgrove. To the left of the chapel door is a school desk with registers of 1893-4, a photograph of the teacher, Miss Mary Kellerd, and the class taken about 1890, attendance certificates of 1904-5 and some Victorian school-books.*</p>
