![]() The college chapel, built in 1600, rebuilt in 1782 and again from 1912 to 1923, was refashioned in the Edwardian era, with brown oak stalls and panels, marbled floors, a bronze and marble altar, and decorative barrel vaulting. The chapel in Sidney Sussex College Cambridge, where I am staying this week, is closed for repairs, and I have not been inside for the duration of this week’s conference organised by the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies.Īlthough Sidney Sussex was founded as a ‘Puritan’ college in the late 16th century, the college responded positively to the rise of the Anglo-Catholic movement in the 19th century. ![]() ![]() The bell of the Chapel of Sidney Sussex College seen from Green Street, Cambridge … the college was a ‘Puritan’ foundation but responded positively to the Anglo-Catholic movement in the 19th century (Photograph: Patrick Comerford, 2016) ![]()
