Description

The Chapel at the Leys School, built in 1905-1906 by Robert Curwen, is a notable example of the Decorated style. It features buttresses and a turret topped with a cupola. The stained glass was created by H J Salisbury, and much of the woodwork was crafted by amateurs. The building is constructed from red brick with stone dressings.
