The Italian Chapel, Lamb Holm, Orkney
Interior view.
The workforce who built the Churchill Barriers nearby were mainly Italian prisoners of war who were quartered on the island of Lamb Holm. They left behind an abiding memorial of their time spent there in the beautiful chapel which they built using two nissan huts and scrap materials. Apart from the facade it is plain and austere on the outside but ornate on the inside
