Gordon's School Chapel

Gordon's School Chapel is a memorial chapel built in 1894 to honor Prince Albert Victor, Duke of Clarence and Avondale, the eldest son of Edward, Prince of Wales. It was designed by William Butterfield in the Early English Gothic style.

The chapel is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond with stone dressings, featuring a tiled roof topped with a shingled spirelet. The layout includes a four-bay nave, a higher two-bay chancel in line with the nave, north and south transepts, a south porch, and a north vestry.

The exterior showcases a gabled west end with a triple lancet window. Both the north and south sides feature a brick dogtooth cornice. The nave is adorned with paired lancet windows that have stone heads and cills, separated by brick buttresses. The projecting gabled transepts also have triple lancet windows. The south side includes a gabled porch with a cross-shaped saddlestone at the apex and a pointed arch. The chancel has a lancet window on each side, while the north side contains a flat-roofed vestry. The east end is gabled, featuring a cross-shaped saddlestone and a triple arched window with a dedication stone beneath.

Inside, the walls are made of polychrome brickwork, and the roof is arch-braced with two tiers of purlins. The nave retains oak pews and an octagonal-shaped pulpit made of oak with partly pierced panels. The north wall displays a stone memorial commemorating former boys of the Gordon Boys' Home who lost their lives in the Great War, alongside a Roll of Honour for those who died during the Second World War. A large stone chancel arch leads to the chancel, which is accessed by two white marble steps. The interior features a tessellated floor, oak panelling, and oak choir stalls, with most windows showcasing late 19th or early 20th century stained glass.
