A historic overview of King’s College Chapel and a summary of its
construction. King’s College Chapel was founded in 1446 by the
mystically-inclined King Henry VI, known in his time as "the royal
saint". The king gave his builders complete instructions for a
magnificent chapel of cathedral dimensions, every part of which had
a mystical and spiritual meaning. This "final flowering of the
Great Work' was designed from the principles of sacred geometry,
laid out and orientated by the ancient geomantic practice of the
operative masons who built it. Today, it is the iconic image
of the City of Cambridge. This book summarises its construction,
notable for its stunningly beautiful fan-vaulting and exceptional
stained glass which still exists in its entirety. Although the
chapel’s original significance as a symbolic structure has been
eroded over the centuries, it remains a place of wonder and
reverence for countless thousands of visitors and those who watch
on television the annual Christmas carol festival broadcast from
there every year.
