Buckingham Chantry Chapel is a 15th-century chapel located in Buckingham, Buckinghamshire, England, and now a National Trust property.
The chapel is the oldest building in Buckingham and is noted in particular for its Norman doorway.
It was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1875. At that time, the chapel was being used by the Royal Latin School. In 1907 the school expanded and so moved to new buildings on Chandos Road.
Famous quotes containing the word chapel:
“I never went near the Wellesley College chapel in my four years there, but I am still amazed at the amount of Christian charity that school stuck us all with, a kind of glazed politeness in the face of boredom and stupidity. Tolerance, in the worst sense of the word.... How marvelous it would have been to go to a women’s college that encouraged impoliteness, that rewarded aggression, that encouraged argument.”
—Nora Ephron (b. 1941)
