St Luke's Chapel adjoins the main college building, on the left of the north cloisters. From the time of St Luke's relocation to Heavitree Road in 1854, students would walk - in all weathers - to services at the Cathedral, until a Chapel was built adjoining the campus in 1896. It suffered a direct hit during the bombing raids of 1942 and was all but destroyed in the consequential fire, but was rebuilt and rededicated in 1952. The stained glass of the trefoil at the top of the east window depicts a phoenix rising from flames, symbolising both the Chapel's history and the Christian belief in the resurrection.
