This building, now converted to a private residence, was originally the chapel attached to the former Shropshire and Wenlock Borough Lunatic Asylum, and dates from the same period, around 1845. At the time of its Grade II listing https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101255091-chapel-at-shelton-hospital-shrewsbury & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1255091 in 1993, it was described as retaining many of its internal features, including wood furniture and fittings such as pews, pulpit and candelabra torcheres. Whether those have survived the subsequent conversion to a house is open to debate.
