Savoy Chapel

The brief from the Duchy of Lancaster was for the improvement and re-landscaping of the Savoy Chapel in conjunction with a major development on the adjoining land.

The vestries were re-roofed with copper roofs and the churchyard re-landscaped in association with Elizabeth Banks Associates, to form an oval lawn, path and stone border carved with an inscription recording the reopening by Her Majesty the Queen, patron of the chapel.

The oval lawn and path are flanked by two stone borders, one level with the grass, the other sloping with the path, meeting tangentially on the centre line like armillary spheres.
