Details: chapel was commissioned by Sir William and Lady Margaret Noble of West Denton Hall, near Newcastle. It was designed by Henry Hare, architect of the College: work began in 1919 and it was dedicated on 27th October 1921. (Sir William and Lady Noble also commissioned the stained glass windows, by Douglas Strachan, on the theme of the Benedicite – “O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, praise him, and magnify him for ever” - and they were completed in 1925.)
