The Venue

​In 1905, Kingsdown Chapel served as a local church for several decades until the Tyree family bought it in the 1970s.

​They added a stunning two-story manor to the property, complete with a three-story turret and a spacious reception hall.

​In 2021, the property was purchased by Greg and Mel Coles, who have transformed Kingsdown Manor into a beautiful boutique and historic wedding venue.

​​With the Chapel Elopement Package, you won't have to worry if the weather doesn't play ball, as you can use the chapel for your ceremony and photos.
