Summary edit
| Description |
English: Christ Church Chapel, Ensay. Little is known of the chapel's early history. In the early 1900s the island of Ensay became the property of the Stewart family and one of the sisters, Mrs Jessie Scott, decided to renew the old chapel beside Ensay House and to restore it to its original purpose. By 1909 it was repaired, the rood re-slated, the ceiling panelled in Californian redwood, a heavy oak door added and a new altar, altar rail, reredos and lectern made in mahogany. The church fell into disrepair again after the First World War, but it was restored in the early 1950s by John David, who had bought Ensay House. An annual pilgrimage to the chapel is maintained by members of Lewis and Harris congregations. On the hill behind the chapel is a standing stone. |
