Ambrose Chapel

Location: Winchester Grade Road, Berkeley Springs, West Virginia

The existing building is believed to be the "new" chapel, completed in 1851. In 2000, Brent and Sonjia Sherrard (Sonjia is a descendant of Henry Ambrose) began work to restore the chapel. However, much work remained to be done and in 2004, Brent and Sonjia deeded the chapel to Robert Ambrose who has continue the restoration work.

The Sherrards began work, June 2000 >>




<< Beautiful and ready for Christmas 2005




Before restoration

Today

While the restored interior colors may appear to have been chosen for a Christmas celebration, they are actually typical "Williamsburg" colors and were matched as closely as possible to what is believed to be the original paint.
