Haileybury Chapel

Haileybury Chapel is a church building at Haileybury College in Melbourne featuring four independent three-story brick walls. The interior is characterized by large glass panels and a timber ceiling with exposed wooden trusses.

The chapel was inaugurated in 1987 and renamed David Bradshaw Chapel in 2000. These two milestones mark the completion and later naming of the building.

The chapel contains over fifty stained glass windows created by Leonard French that combine Christian imagery with scenes of creation and literary references. These windows shape how light and color move through the interior space throughout the day.

The space serves multiple functions throughout the year, hosting religious services, musical performances, and academic gatherings. Visitors should expect an actively used environment that accommodates various types of events.

Two bells from a French foundry have been ringing hourly since 1988 and also sound during services. These bells installed in the tower create a distinctive soundscape across the campus.
