Chapel
of St. Paul
Interior
“The Chapel services at St.
Paul’s appealed from the beginning to the boys’
feeling for music and color, to their instinctive enjoyment
of ceremony; and they kept the worshippers awake by the various
responses required of them. At Christmas and Easter the Chapel
would be verdant with wreaths and garlands set in place by the
students.”– (Heckscher, p.35). Owing to the growth
of the School, it became necessary to enlarge the Chapel in
the summer of 1868, when the nave was moved back back and the
present transepts were built between the nave and choir. Today,
the First Night Service for new students and Last Night Service
for the Sixth Form connect the many generations who have worshipped
here.
