The Royal Memorial Chapel was originally designed in 1879 by the Royal Engineers in a style copied from a church in Florence. It was constructed mainly in red brick, with terracotta moulding, large interlocking pediment copies and massive corbels and was known as the Royal Military College Chapel of Christ Church . After the Great War it became the Royal Military Memorial Chapel and in 1919 plans by architect Captain Arthur C. Martin were agreed for an enlarged building. Martin, who designed the new building in a Byzantine style, changing the orientation of the chapel from South East to North East. It was duly consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury in 1921, although work continued on the new West End for a further 16 years. King George VI dedicated the new Chapel on 2nd May 1937 on completion of the final phase of the building programme that transformed the building into the current Chapel.
