Next meeting on Saturday 23 Feb 2013

The next meeting of the Chapel is on Saturday, 23 February 2013, to be followed by lunch.


The above painting represents one of the seven Corporal Works of Mercy, feeding the hungry.  In 1504 a seven-panel painting of the Works of Mercy was commissioned by the Holy Spirit House in Alkmaar in the Netherlands, painted by an artist known as the Master of Alkmaar. The painting was moved to the Grote Kerk (before the Reformation the Cathedral of St Laurence and St Matthew) in 1582.  Since 1913 the panel has been exhibited in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam.
