Oakham School Memorial Chapel Rutland Photographs

The Chapel was conceived as a memorial for the 68 Old Oakhamians who died in the First World War. The foundation stone was laid on Speech day in July 1924 and the Chapel was dedicated by the Bishop of Peterborough on 29th October 1925.

The names of the 68 OO’s are listed at the Chapel entrance.

A memorial to the 83 OO’s who died in WW2 is sited in the vestibule.
