UK - Compton - Watts Chapel Art Nouveau design

Watts Chapel is a Grade 1 listed Chapel situated in the village of Compton in Surrey. Watts Chapel was designed by Mary Watts, wife of Internationally renowned Victorian artist, George Frederic Watts who funded the project. Both are now buried at the cemetery, as are, many of the residents who helped Mary decorate this beautiful Chapel. The Chapel is a wonderful fusion of influences, including Art Nouveau, Celtic, Romanesque and Egyptian. It is built on a grassy mound and the deep red terracotta brickwork contrasts with striking effect against the cemetery landscape. Inside, the brightly coloured designs and symbols representing the tree of life, fill the dome shaped interior. Compton,
