Lancing College Chapel in Brighton
About
Perched just outside Brighton, Lancing College Chapel is an architectural marvel and a must-visit attraction. This stunning Gothic Revival structure from the 19th century boasts the tallest heights and houses the UK's largest rose window, a view of intricate stained glass that leaves visitors in awe. Inside, the chapel showcases exquisite wood carvings from Eton College, offering a tantalizing glimpse into history, further enriched by continuous developments, the latest being in 2022.
The chapel isn't just about aesthetics - its active role in the community keeps it lively and engaging. From vibrant flower festivals to serene Christmas candlelit Carol services, the events here are as timeless as they are enchanting. It's a favorite choice for marriages and a place where the mellifluous tones of Evensong fill the air.
A visit requires a short drive on winding roads, leading to a five-minute uphill walk from the main car park, yet the journey is worthwhile. This Victorian masterpiece is exceptionally well maintained, and while entry is free, donations are greatly appreciated to aid its preservation. For those with an appreciation for history and architecture or seeking a momentary escape into reverence and tranquility, Lancing College Chapel offers a serene and captivating experience.

Can joint the summer school through EF (paid organization for 1 year exchange )

Saw it in the distance when driving, quite imposing, had to visit. Free parking at the school and free to enter here. Had a little guided tour from a lovely gent, explaining the history of the chapel.

Neogotische Kapelle des Lancing Colleges, erbaut 1868 - 2022 (!) in Stil der französischen Hochgotik beeindruckt durch seine lichte Höhe der Gewölbe von 29 m, welches die dritthöchsten in GB sind. Sehr sehenswert!
