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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1857, showcases the Chapel of The Clergy Orphan Schools in Canterbury, Kent, England. The construction of these Schools began due to the insufficient space at the Clergy Orphan Corporation's St. John's Wood facility for boys. As a result, it was decided to allocate that building exclusively to girls and erect a new one to accommodate 200 boys. The architect for this project was Mr. P.C. Hardwick, and Mr. Kelk served as the contractor. The Clergy Orphan Schools were initially established in 1749 and were incorporated in 1809. The cost of the new building at Canterbury was estimated to be £15,500, excluding the expenses of furnishing, while the Chapel, with its fittings, was estimated to cost an additional £3,000. The girls, who continued to reside at St. John's Wood, were finally provided with the long-needed accommodation. This photograph, originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1857, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the architectural beauty and grandeur of the Chapel, which stands as a testament to the dedication and commitment towards the education and care of orphaned children during the 19th century.
