AN ERROR CORRECTED
(To the Editor.) Sir, —In a very interesting address given by Mr I. I. McGregor to the Rotary Club he is reported as saying that King’s College Chapel, Cambridge, was “erected in memory of students killed in the Great War.” The foundation stone of King’s College Chapel was laid in 1446 by the founder of the College, Henry VI. and the work was completed in 1515 in the 6th year of Henry VIII. It is generally regarded as the finest example of perpendicular architecture in England. It is world famous for its early sixteenth century coloured glass, its wonderful stone roof with fan tracery, and for the magnificent organscreen of Italian workmanship erected when Anne Boleyn was Queen, and bearing her initials, A.R., and the Boleyn arms with those of England. The latest portion of the Chapel is the organ case which dates from 1688. Yours, e.tc., N. A. R. BARRER. Masterton. June 3.
