Chapel

Historically and at the present day in the Roman Catholic church and other Episcopal denominations, a chapel is typically a private church or area of worship, often small and attached to a larger institution such as a college, a hospital, a palace, or a prison. One of the best known is the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, famous for Michelangelo's paintings on its ceilings. Another famous chapel is a part of King's College, Cambridge in England, which also has a renowned choir.

In Britain the word chapel has other meanings in common usage: in England, and even more so in Wales, many non-Anglican Protestant church buildings are commonly referred to as chapels, even by the chapel-goers themselves; in Scotland any Roman Catholic church building is known to many as "the chapel".
