A Domestic Chapel is a private place of worship incorporated within a house, country estate or manor, intended for the exclusive use of the household and its guests. Domestic chapels were particularly common in medieval manor houses, aristocratic residences and large Victorian country homes. They often contain ecclesiastical furniture, stained glass, carved woodwork, altars and religious works of art, making them important examples of Britain\'s architectural and decorative heritage. *Related Terms*\ Altar, Chapel, Ecclesiastical Furniture, Gothic Revival, Stained Glass.
