"The Chapel is located through Mob Quad and can be reached by passing through Front Quad from under an archway then taking a straight path through the right-hand edge of Mob Quad and passing out the other side.The entrance to the Chapel is on the right. The flag-stones have been remodelled to allow level access although some users might find it a bit steep.
There is a small wooden lobby area inside the Chapel. Pass through these doors and you are in the Chapel space. There is a level change to head into the main vestibule of the Chapel which has ramp access. There is quite a difference in height, so some users may want assistance."
