Last Saturday the remarkable War Memorial Chapel of Charterhouse School

was opened by the King. It is one of the most satisfying and striking memorials of the War. The architect is Sir Giles Scott, the creator of Liverpool Cathedral, and some judges rate the chapel even above that magnificent achievement. The effects of light inside are very impressive. The walls arc unusually lofty, and the light comes from single lancet windows which are recessed and almost hidden. The sense of towering height, the simplicity and the diffused light combine to make a memorable architectural beauty of which the school may well be proud.
