Title

St Christopher's Chapel

Description

Designed in 1966 by Patrick Huggins, a former student, after a competition amongst three architectural practices.


Built in the jagged profile, ribbed concrete, convex walled style fashionable in the 1960’s. Very calm, soothing interior.

The design and layout reflect the School’s brief; to gather the congregation closely around the speaker, to give equal emphasis to the lectern and communion table, underlining the School’s multi-faith composition, to make use of light, simplicity in design and of traditional and modern materials.
