Nestled in the green hills of the South Downs in England
Is a magnificent example of a Gothic Revival church: Lancing College Chapel.
Its spires soar up into the sky, giving me vertigo
And reminding me of Hogwarts College.
It is the largest school chapel in the world
And a well-known landmark in Sussex.
Even though it’s only 100 years old,
It’s due for a cleaning.
Can you see the mossy windows?
All in all, it’s a stunning piece of architecture.

Well, it’s very tall but so narrow. And not big compared to real Gothic churches like Notre Dame. 😉 But big for being a school chapel.

I agree, it is stunning architecture. Your photographs are very good too…I would find it so hard to get a decent pic of such a place. And it reminds me of our two visits to England….much of the time exploring Cathedrals…as well as old, old, small churches. I even found graves of what I think are ancestors. My husband found the town he was named after…and of course we visited the Kennett barrow. Next time we will go back to see the church where his ancestor was a Bishop! You live in such an exciting country… can’t wait to go back…especially now I have just bought a decent camera:)

The chapel is only 100 years old, so not from the original Gothic era (which was from the 12-16 th centuries) — (but impressive nevertheless)…
