The Chapel was built in 1230AD as the chapel to St Mark's Hospital. The Hospital, served by a number of clergy and lay brothers, served the city compassionately. In 1540 Henry VIII sequestrated it and the City fathers purchased the buildings and extensive lands from him. The Lord Mayor's Chapel is now the only building left. Further information about the Chapel's history can be found on the history page of this site.
The present congregation is gathered from all parts of the City and worships in a traditional choral form. There is a service of Choral Eucharist on the second and fifth Sunday each month, and on the other Sundays a service of Choral Matins is celebrated.
