Chapel, now used as sports hall. 1923, architect Walter Godfrey of Wratten and Godfrey. Red brick, English bond with blue diaper patterns on end elevations, limestone base and dressings, yellow sandstone windows, slated roof behind brick parapet with stone copings, and parapeted gables at ends, lower ends with Dutch profile, and octagonal turrets.

Side elevations divided by buttresses into 6 bays, each with recessed 3 light 4 central arched windows with traceried cusped trefoil heads. Projecting porches with hipped and gabled roofs, stone mullioned windows, and semicircular arched doors. INTERIOR: not inspected. HISTORICAL NOTE: the architect Walter Godfrey (1881-1961) was articled to James Williams, successor to George Devey, who had designed the new Goldings mansion in 1870. In partnership with E Livingstone Wratten he carried on Devey's practice after William's death in 1905. Goldings was sold by Reginald Abel Smith, son of the builder of Goldings to Dr Barnados Homes in 1921, who opened it as the William Baker Technical School in 1922. The chapel was built to enable staff and pupils to worship without the walk into Hertford. The foundation stone was laid by Mrs Burnett Smith, Deputy Mayoress of Hertford on 28 June 1923. The property was sold to Herts County Council in 1969.
