Lancing College Chapel

Lancing College Chapel, England, West Sussex

Have you ever come upon a sight that you just thought, "I must explore that!"

Lancing College Chapel, England, West Sussex

On one of our treks to the coast we saw a beautiful building on a hill.

As soon as I got home I was determined to figure out what it was.
I sought out a map of the area and learned that it was the chapel for Lancing College (college has a different meaning in the UK.  It's equivalent to the last two years of high school).  

A few weeks ago I had the chance to go explore!

The foundations were laid in 1868 and the building complete in 1911.

This was definitely worth the stop, and it was free!

  2. Very lovely, as is the greenery around it! As Americans we always say "college" for university... now I understand why I got a couple strange looks while in the UK ;) It's good to know your British-isms.

  3. Gorgeous! The UK and Europe in general far surpass the US when it comes to architecture!

    Gorgeous! As a Brit we sometimes take for granted our beautiful architecture!

  5. I love, love, loveee seeing chapels when I travel overseas. There aren't nearly as many to see here. This one is beautiful (and good to know about "college" having a different meaning).

  11. It's beautiful! I often do this, too - see something that looks interesting and then Google it once I get home. I hardly ever actually go back to check it out, though!

  12. Tina, what an absolutely gorgeous place to visit! And I love when those moments hit--the Must Explore! ones :)

  13. It was fun to explore. And we practically had the whole place to ourselves. Only about 4 other people in the place! :)

  14. They all are just so amazing! Even the ones in tiny little villages! I've not been to Winchester. I'll have to check it out!

  15. Even these slight little differences can be confusing. ;)

  16. It sure is an amazing area for architecture! One of the things that draws so many Americans this way. :)

  17. It's easy to go about your day and forget about the things around you. I've been guilty of that!

  18. They really are fascinating! Enjoy searching them out too!

  19. I've been trying to make a point to seek out places like this so there are no regrets for not having done it. :)

  20. I love that stained glass window too. I wish I could have gotten closer to it!

  21. It is, isn't it?! I never think of a place like this for a school chapel!

    ReplyDelete
  22. I never would have thought this was a chapel to a school!! I went to a Baptist university and we didn't have anything this nice for our chapel! :P

  29. I think I kinda always say "I must explore that!" but I don' get to do it every time I make that announcement. That chapel is indeed gigantic and I love every details of it.

  30. It can be difficult making it happen. I've been trying to do better at following through and exploring! There are so many amazing things to see in England and all over, really!
