How do you guys like my FIRST EVER "story" title, as opposed to my gritty straight to the point titles of old?  Grin

I have been wanting to get inside this since 2009, and TBM managed to get us (Me, His girlfriend, my girlfriend and me) some permission as its has always been tight.

Please excuse some of the pissed shots, I'm getting used to a tripod with no spider (long story). 

St Johns asylum was closed in 1991, and the entire site demolished in 1994 leaving only this small chapel plus one acre of land behind.  The chapel does not have any bodies buried around it, and has passed through several hands since 1991, but not much has really happened since.

Trying to figure out the purpose of the grating in the floor in #6. Looks a bit excessive for just getting water off of people shoes as they enter.

Thank you wjbodin3 .  I was going to ask what that was for.  The ceilings are beautiful.  So why did they leave just the chapel?  Will it ever be put back into use?  Such a pretty building.

Don't judge me unless you have looked through my eyes, experienced what I have and cried as many tears as me.  Until then back off, cause you have no idea.

It was a listed building. Making it a crime to make any alterations or demolish it. If anything happened to the building it would need to be rebuilt.

I would love to live in it.   But that would require changes be made.  The archs are amazing.  Thanks for posting.
