Scope note(s)

  • Fundraising for the construction of a memorial chapel on the grounds of Appleby College began in March 1919 to honour those men who had died in World War 1. However, it took ten years to raise the appropriate funds and have the church constructed. The architects were Shepard and Calvin of Toronto and the contractors were Byers and Anglin of Montreal. The chapel was officially dedicated on November 7, 1929. The chapel is Gothic in design and lake stone was used for its exterior walls. In 1967-1968 the chapel was renovated and extended to provide for additional space to the growing school population. At this time, the chapel was renamed The John Bell Chapel, in honour of long serving Master and Headmaster, John A.M. Bell.
