Armidale School Chapel foundation laid amid ceremony
The Armidale School marked the laying of its chapel foundation stone in a ceremony led by the Bishop of Grafton and Armidale. Key figures included Rev W Fisher, Archdeacons Ross and White, and G H Jenkins. The Cadet Band led the procession and a silver trowel was presented. The event followed decades of debate and funds struggles, with donors acknowledged and a bottle sealed under the stone. A moving address likened a school with no chapel to an angel without wings.
