Edward King Chapel
Other 90
A stunning contemporary Chapel designed by the renowned architect, Niall McLaughlin, completed in 2013. It is a space intended only for prayer with fixed collegiate seating so congregants face one-another. The light filtering down into the space from the high clerestorey and weave of columns reflecting the surrounding trees outside, and the excellent acoustics make for a unique venue.
Facilities
Altar, lectern, credence table, hymn books, electronic organ and WiFi. If you wish to celebrate a Eucharist, we can loan vessels, linen, vestments and consumables by arrangement.
