When built, this was a Church of England chapel that served the original Somerset and Bath Pauper Lunatic Asylum. Along with much of the hospital wings, it was designed by George Scott and William Moffatt in the Gothic Revival style. Following closure in 1991, the church was converted into residential use and renamed St Cuthbert's Village.
