Melanesian Chapel (Ottery St Mary)

Go to the side chapel on the South East end of the church – St Stephen’s Chapel. There you will see a frontal inspired by the connection with Patteson and Melanesia. It is sited in St Stephens Chapel, so that next to the martyrdom of Stephen, Patteson is remembered, and more recently seven brothers of the Melanesian Brotherhood, a religious community whose founder was inspired by Patteson, who in 2003, gave their lives in their efforts to bring peace during the civil unrest in the Solomon Islands.
