Despite identifing three separate chapels for the asylum, certain rooms, whether
original or modern extensions, also suggested they were used for worship. But
without any supporting documentation, and no evidence left within the rooms themselves,
this is all conjecture on my part.

For example, this modern extension had the feeling of a a modern chapel, the low doorways
leading into an octagonal space. Given that many asylums closed their exterior chapels when
patient numbers dwindled, and
converted existing rooms into chapels (which occurred at both Severalls and
Rauceby), it’s not unreasonable
that this occurred at Warley.

However, given that the "corridor" plan meant that day-rooms were also major
communication routes through the hospital, this could’ve simply been a day-room
extension to give patients more privacy.
