Culham Chapel is a design for a new private chapel in the grounds of Culham Court in Berkshire.

The design explores the synthesis of several architectural influences and materials.
Graeco-Romanesque detailing is employed on the exterior and on the interior;
with references also to the work of the neo-classical Italian architects of the early twentieth century.

The design was prepared in close collaboration with Alexander Stoddart from the very outset
and includes a strong programme of sculpture, including the four evangelists in bronze on the west front
and nine smaller bronzes of sibyls on the flanking walls.

The interior is presented as a Graeco-Romanesque temple/basilica incorporating a continuous frieze
and a central, seated figure of Christ by Alexander Stoddart.

This project is awaiting approval from the National Trust.
