Chapel of St. Michael & All Angels, Marlborough College, Marlborough

The original chapel by Edward Blore was dedicated in 1848 and was built for a school of 500 boys and a relatively small staff. The proportions were said to be unsatisfactory and it was soon found to be too small. By the beginning of the last quarter of the century it was discovered that the original building was most unsatisfactory with very little foundation and insufficient mortar. A new chapel to the designs of Bodley and Garner was built in Bath stone and sarsen stone in 1883-6. It is most graceful, being both long and tall. It has a stained glass window by Burne Jones and is reckoned one of the finest public school chapels in the country.
