Sunday 8 Sept, Durham School will open its doors to the public. The Chapel will be open with volunteers answering questions and playing the organ. There will also be a tour of the school, exploring its 600-year history.
Durham School was refounded in 1414, and moved to its current site in 1844. Join the school Archivist and Development Director as they tour guests around the historic site, and visit our wonderful War Memorial Chapel, which commemorates the lives of the Old Dunelmians who have died in the service of their country since 1914. The tour will start at the bottom of the Chapel Steps and then (depending on numbers) split into two groups, each ending the their tour at the Orangery cafe where free refreshments will be provided to guests.
Join us for a particularly important celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the laying of the Foundation Stone for the School Chapel.
