About this place
This baroque masterpiece was completed in 1726 and is often called the “Sistine Chapel of the UK”. Designed by Sir James Thornhill, with vast ceiling and wall paintings celebrating British naval power.
Every surface is covered in detail, from mythological figures to real historical figures like King William III. Best experienced slowly, lying back or looking up, so you can take in the full scale and storytelling above you.
