On our tour led by the Revd. Tim Ditchfield, we discover the story of King’s College Chapel, a Victorian gem hidden within the King’s College Strand buildings.
The Chapel was re-designed by George Gilbert Scott RA in 1864, after the College Chaplain declared that the original 1831 chapel should be reconstructed due to its ‘meagreness and poverty’. The Chapel now has a fine polychrome interior treated in an Italian Romanesque style. Friends learn about the recent restoration, including Joseph Nuttgens’s stained glass windows, which celebrate the role of the college in the discovery of DNA.
