A hundred years of the King's College Memorial Chapel
King's College in Auckland is today marking 100 years since the consecration of its Memorial Chapel. On Anzac Day in 1925 the Archbishop of Auckland, Alfred Walter Averill, consecrated the chapel with the Governor-General of the day, Sir Charles Fergusson, also in attendance. Its memorial roll of honour lists the names of more than 200 old boys and staff who died during the two World Wars. Stacey Morrison visited the chapel and spoke with King's Headmaster Simon Lamb and the school's senior chaplain, Reverend Gareth Walters.
