England's school chapels constitute a unique architectural and cultural inheritance. They deserve to be far better known - enjoyed and visited in the same spirit as our castles, cathedrals and parish churches. This is the first book dedicated to this topic. England's School Chapels tells the story of these unique places of worship, from the sixth century until the present day. Architectural historian Stephen Withnell has travelled the length and breadth of England to visit the fifty chapels featured in this book. Each has its own entry, beautifully written and richly illustrated - often with delightful asides. Independent and state, boarding and day, Anglican, Nonconformist, Catholic or Nondenominational, a full range of England's school chapels are celebrated in this authoritative and up-to-date history.
