All Souls' Chapel

All Souls' Chapel is an Anglican chapel in Charlottetown, Canada, built from red sandstone with pointed-arch windows, recessed hooded openings, and supporting buttresses that display Gothic Revival style. Dating from 1888, it stands as a preserved heritage structure within the city.

The chapel was designed in 1888 by William Critchlow Harris as a memorial to Reverend George Hodgson, the first priest of St. Peter's Anglican Cathedral. Harris was a notable local architect whose work shaped the city's religious architecture.

The interior displays artwork by Robert Harris showing scenes from Christ's life in three rounded compositions above the altar, with an ascending Christ figure completing the ensemble. These paintings shape the spiritual mood of the space and make the religious message immediately visible to visitors.

The chapel is located at All Souls' Lane in Charlottetown and welcomes visitors interested in religious architecture and Canadian history. It is helpful to check opening hours in advance to ensure the building is accessible during your visit.

The sanctuary walls feature detailed carvings of Christ with his apostles, each figure holding symbols that represent their individual martyrdom stories. This intricate depiction of the twelve apostles with their personal attributes is a distinctive element that visitors often overlook.
