LANCING COLLEGE DRIVE Lancing College, the Chapel I

Designed by R H Carpenter in 1868. The Master Builder was William Blackford Woodard, the third son of the founder, Nathaniel Woodard. It is built of stone from a quarry belonging to the College at Saynes Hill in Sussex. C13 French Gothic style. The crypt, which is above ground, was built between 1871 and 1877 and served as the College Chapel until 1911. In 1882 foundations were laid for a tower (unbuilt) at the south-west corner of the building. The main portion of the Chapel was finished in 1911. It consists of an apse and 10 bays. Central portion with aisles. Great buttresses flank the windows of the aisles. Over the roof of the aisles double flying buttresses connect the buttresses below to the walls of the main building. Balustrade of pointed arcading. Slate roof. The west wall with its great rose window was completed between 1960 and 1975. Architect, S E Dykes-Bower. The stalls were designed by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1851 and moved here from Eton College Chapel in 1923. Nathaniel Woodard, the founder of the College was buried in the chapel in 1891 in a chantry-like tomb. So is his son, William Woodard. The War Memorial Cloister on the south side was designed by Temple Moore and added in 1920-7. The whole is a particularly fine example of Gothic Revival building. Illustrated in the Builder pps 944-5 1868.
