The Clergy Orphan Schools, Canterbury: the Chapel, 1857. Creator: Unknown
The Clergy Orphan Schools, Canterbury: the Chapel, 1857. The erection of these Schools originated in the accommodation for children in the schools of the Clergy Orphan Corporation at St. John's Wood having become insufficient. It was, therefore, determined to appropriate that building exclusively to girls, and to erect elsewhere a school sufficiently large to contain 200 boys...Mr. P. C. Hardwick was the architect; Mr. Kelk was the contractor...The Clergy Orphan Schools were originally founded A.D. 1749, and incorporated 1809. The cost of the new building at Canterbury will be £15, 500, exclusive of the expenses of furnishing; and of the Chapel, which, with its fittings, is estimated at £3000. The girls, continuing at St. John's Wood, will thus have the accommodation which has been long and greatly needed...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1857
