Lonely Planet review

On the tiny island of Lamb Holm, the Italian Chapel is all that remains of a POW camp that housed the Italian soldiers who worked on the Churchill Barriers. They built the chapel in their spare time, using two Nissen huts, scrap metal and their considerable artistic and decorative skills.

One of the artists returned in 1960 to restore the paintwork. It's quite extraordinary inside and definitely worth seeing.
