Maybe a not should be added as to the fact the church is technically located in St Nicholas of Myra parish? Circeus (talk) 22:53, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The map of the parish of St Peter with Chapel Royal at the "A Church Near You" website is misleading, as the position of the Chapel Royal has incorrectly been plotted near the junction of North Road and Queen's Road, which would indeed put it in St Nicholas' parish. The church should be shown at the junction of North Street and Prince's Place—the stubby one to the east of the bottom end of New Road. All printed and online sources I have found refer to the chapel's transfer into St Peter's parish. Hassocks5489 (tickets please!) 11:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thanks for clearing that. Circeus (talk) 19:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brighthelmstone

Wasn't it Brighthelmstone right through the C18?--Wetman (talk) 00:59, 16 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Chapel Royal — Really?

[edit]

There has to be more than the publicity build up to prove this is / was a chapel royal. Attendance by a member or members of the royal family does not make this church a former Chapel Royal. Eddaido (talk) 11:43, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not in relation to what is described at the Chapel Royal article, no (and the "Chapels Royal" navbox added to the bottom of the article some years ago does not apply, so I will remove it in a sec). I've just reviewed the sources, and the first paragraph of "History" accurately describes how the church came to be founded: so it was a slightly unusual situation, perhaps in the hope that it would indeed become an official royal chapel...? But this wasn't to be, because although it was officially consecrated as the "Chapel Royal" it was only ever a chapel of ease within Brighton parish, and had no official status beyond that.
