More about this scene

Founded by Nathanial Woodard, then curate at nearby New Shoreham, Lancing was one of fifteen schools he established, including Ardingly and Hurstpierpoint in Sussex. R C Carpenter's school buildings, begun in 1854, were occupied in 1858 and added to subsequently. When his father died in 1855, R H Carpenter designed the soaring chapel, which was started in 1868 and is seen here half-finished.
