before that, morning and Sunday services were held in the Dining Hall

the Chapel was a conversion of the RAF's gymnasium,
fitted out with stained-glass, altar, choir-stalls and seating

these panels were lit from behind by fluorescent lighting, so they shone even for winter Evensong

the altar was, unconventionally, at the west end of the building
this allowed double doors to be placed at the eastern end of the building, convenient to the back entrance to the school
