Watts Chapel, which stands on the side of Budburrow Hill, Compton, is a Grade I listed building owned by Compton Parish. It was consecrated on 1July 1898 and continues to be working cemetary chapel. Most who visit it today, however, are there to admire its extraordinary design and decoration. For many it provides a place for reflection and peace, which its creator Mary Watts (1849-1938) would surely have approved of.
Mary Watts was the wife of G.F.Watts (1817-1904) one of the most eminent artists of the Victorian age. Watts Gallery, opened in 1904 and is dedicated to the artist. It is 300 yards from the Chapel and is a national Gallery in the heart of a village.
