Somerville College Chapel, Non-denominational chapel at University of Oxford, England
The chapel features a Greek inscription above its entrance, stained glass windows by George Bell, and an organ crafted by Harrison & Harrison.
Built in 1935 with funds from alumna Emily Georgiana Kemp, the chapel represents a departure from traditional religious requirements at Oxford colleges.
The chapel walls display memorials to notable women including Constance Coltman, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Margaret Thatcher, highlighting their contributions.
The chapel hosts weekly concerts, choir performances, and reflection sessions, providing space for both musical events and personal contemplation.
The chapel maintains a Chapel Director instead of a chaplain, offering opportunities for traditional Christian worship while welcoming speakers of different faiths.
