Statement of Interest

The former chapel was restored and converted into a cancer therapy centre in 2011-12 by the Glasgow Building Preservation Trust and Cancer Support Scotland. A new low-lying extension was built adjoining the northwest corner of the building, but the exterior was otherwise unaltered. Internally the main alteration was the subdivision of the arcade to form glazed meeting rooms. Timber panelling, roof structure, marblework, stalls and stained glass were all repaired and retained.

The building continued in use as the Calman Cancer Support Centre until 2025 when it was bought by the Methodist Church in Britain. As of 2026 it is used both for cancer treatment and as a place of worship.

Statutory address and supplementary information revised in 2026. Previously listed as '1055 Great Western Road, Gartnavel Royal Hospital Chapel'.
