St Luke's Chapel, University of Exeter
On the many occasions that I've walked into Exeter and passed this building, I've never found an opportunity for an attempt at a decent photograph but today, maybe, I succeeded 🤔
What I did know is that it is the 'St Lukes Campus of the University of Exeter' but what is its history. The University website tells me thus:
St Luke's Campus was opened in 1854, and from this time the staff and students would walk - in all weathers - to services at Exeter Cathedral, until the campus's own chapel was built in 1863. It suffered a direct hit during the bombing raids of 1942 and was all but destroyed in the consequential fire, but was rebuilt in the original architectural style, and rededicated in 1952.
