Situated outside the city boundary on the south-east side of London Road and in the grounds of Magdalen House Nursing Home.
The Chapel was originally built for the benefit of those suffering from leprosy. St Margarets belonged to the Leper Hospital of St Margaret and St Sepulchre, which was founded prior to 1163. The present Chapel building is thought to date from the early 1400's and be on the site of an earlier building. It was restored in 1846 and again in 1875 when the south vestry was added. There is a bricked-up door on the exterior leading to the chapel vault.
As well as serving the hospital the chapel and its graveyard was used over the centuries by inhabitants of the neighbouring suburbs.
Since 1934 the Gloucester Charities Trust have administered the Chapel. They appoint a Chaplain. Services are open to the public.
Only a few gravestones remain. They are mostly too badly eroded to read. There is one brass memorial plate under a window inside the building.
