Eton College Chapel, Grade I listed chapel in Eton, England.
The chapel features Perpendicular Gothic architecture with pinnacled buttresses, traceried windows, and fan vaulting constructed from concrete faced with Clipsham stone.
King Henry VI laid the foundation stone in 1441, but after seven years ordered a complete reconstruction with larger dimensions due to structural concerns.
The chapel walls display medieval paintings created between 1479 and 1487, depicting miracles of the Virgin Mary and remaining hidden under whitewash until 1847.
Students attend mandatory services each morning during term time, with additional optional services ranging from Taizé to Roman Catholic Communion throughout the week.
The chapel's concrete fan vaulting, installed in the 1950s to replace a beetle-infested wooden roof, maintains medieval aesthetics while incorporating modern engineering.
