Hospital church. 1884 by William Crozier Junior. Light-red engineering brick in English garden wall bond with some constructional, yellow-brick polychromy; sandstone dressings; Welsh slate roof. Early English style with lancets under hoodmoulds.
The chapel once contained a number of war memorial plaques that were originally in the buildings of Winterton Hospital - they were all removed from the chapel in 2002 and transferred to Durham Hospital.
