Through the archway stands the former Catholic chapel of St Peter, now called Milner Hall in memory of Reverend John Milner, who built it in 1792 - the first Catholic church to be consecrated since 1558. Restored 1987.

Reverend John Milner was a prominent Catholic priest and historian in England; he built St Peter's chapel, now known as Milner Hall, which became the first Catholic church consecrated since the Reformation in 1558.
