The chapel at St David’s Home sits peacefully on a quiet corner of the vast grounds. It wasn’t always a haven of serenity, though. This chapel was built in 1920, dedicated to the memory of Lieutenant David Kerr, who perished in the First World War. It was a poignant reminder of the loss suffered by a young man’s mother, Lady Anne Kerr, who had already lost a son in 1914. Her grief led Lady Anne to dedicate her life to caring for disabled veterans, a legacy that lives on today. Lady Anne’s story represents a stark contrast to the calm environment found within the chapel’s simple walls today. Visitors might not easily understand its history, but the quiet dedication of the chapel to Lieutenant David Kerr speaks volumes about the enduring nature of grief and the power of love that prompted Lady Anne Kerr’s sacrifice.
