About the memorial: The chapel (now redundant) is in the grounds of the former prep school which has now closed. The chapel was built in 1918 and finished in 1919 and is believed to be the first Memorial chapel to be completed after the first world war.The chapel was originally completed in memory of the 46 fallen former boys and the headmaster of the school that were killed in the conflict. All of the boys names are listed in a yellow band around the chapel. This remains as was since installation. The chapel also had a plaque showing all of the fallen boys from the second world war, but this was removed when the chapel was sold in 2011. The chapel also consists of several other plaques of friends of the school who passed away during the life of the prep a school. These also continue to remain in situ. Planning permission and listed building consent has been granted for the chapel to be converted into a domestic property, maintaining all of the internal features of the chapel within the conversion. A additional fire escape rear door will be added as part of the conversion as well as 2 new rear windows.
