The chapel is currently closed for the winter. Private bookings can be made by contacting the Hon. Custodian (see below).

The chapel will be open to the public every Sunday and Wednesday afternoon between 2.00 and 4.00 pm from Sunday 25th March 2012 until Sunday 9th September 2012.

Please scroll down this page for advice on travel to Padley.

Further information about relevant dates in 2012 can be obtained via this link.

At other times private party bookings can be made to visit the chapel for groups who wish to hear more about the history of the building and the people who lived there by contacting the Hon. Custodian Mrs Celia White on 01433 630352 or email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Bookings can be made at any reasonable time but a popular visit is in the early evening which is then followed by a meal at one of our many excellent local pubs.  This is also an excellent place for school visits and I would be happy to discuss this with teachers.

We also have private groups who wish to celebrate a special event such as an anniversary or birthday or family occasion.  Also ideal for Parish outings.

Mass can be celebrated by appointment.

  • Holy Father's Visit Has Given Us Fresh Courage
    "The four days of the Papal Visit brought the Catholic Church in England and Wales to a different and new place, emphasising and enhancing the opportunity we have to live and proclaim our faith in public," said Archbishop Bernard Longley of Birmingham during his homily at a special Mass on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin (8 December).
  • Papal Visit DVD Released
    Celebrating Pope Benedict XVI’s historic first State Visit to the UK, the DVD tells the story of the four extraordinary days in September offering not just event highlights, but the Holy Father’s profound words and the true significance of all the components of the Visit.
  • A Call to Freedom
    The UK media has repeatedly stated that Pope Benedict’s visit to Spain has touched on familiar themes. Yet, as usual, it has been left to the Catholic press to identify the central point of his message: freedom. Whilst the secular reports quote the Pope as calling Europe to return to its Christian roots, they frequently omit the reason for such a challenge: freedom.
