The Chapel has been part of Hickey’s Almshouses since they were built in 1834. It is now the Chapel for all of The Richmond Charities Almshouses.
It is firstly a place of worship where Sunday services, prayers and special services are held. Details of these are published in the Your Almshouse Magazine on a monthly basis, as well as on posters placed on the different estates’ noticeboards.
If you would like yourself, or a loved one, to be included in prayers in the Chapel then either let the Chaplain know or write your prayer request in the Prayer Requests Book in the Chapel.
Residents of all Almshouses, relatives, friends and members of the general public are all welcome to attend Chapel Services.
The Chapel is a place of social activities. Quiz Nights, Film Club, Bingo and various exercise activities are regularly held there. These are detailed in the Monthly Activities Leaflet delivered to all residents.
The Chapel is a place of special events like The Annual Thanksgiving and Celebration Service, where we remember with thanksgiving the Charity’s Benefactors and celebrate our Almshouse community.
The Chapel is a place of life events, like baptisms, weddings, and funerals.
