Bedford School Chapel

The chapel was built in 1907 on a rise of ground by GF Bodley. Bodley died before the work was complete, so the building was finished by his assistant Cecil Hare.

The Edwardian Gothic chapel is created of red brick, with a low tower housing a crenellated belfry. In the interior, cleverly concealed ventilation shafts are hidden behind gilded bosses in the roof. The chapel is long and narrow, and lined with carved oaken stalls along the walls. The bench ends are carved with heraldic beasts, and wall panels commemorate school alumni who lost their lives in WWI.

The tiebeams in the nave show colourful painted decoration, though similar stencilling on the roof has been lost.
