The Italian Chapel at Lamb Holm was created by Italian prisoners-of-war held at nearby Camp 60 during the Second World War.
Behind the bright frontispiece, two conjoined Nissen huts are oriented east-west, in keeping with ecclesiastical tradition. Inside the chapel, a 'vaulted' ceiling of painted plasterboard disguises the steel-ribbed structure of the hut. The altarpiece was painted by Domenico Chiocchetti, the principal creator of the chapel.
