King's College Chapel in Cambridge, consecrated in 1443, is renowned for its exceptional late Perpendicular Gothic architecture. The chapel's construction spanned nearly a century, with the foundation stone laid by King Henry VI on 25 July 1446. The building process faced interruptions due to the Wars of the Roses, but work resumed under Richard III and later under Henry VII and Henry VIII, culminating in the chapel's completion in 1515. (kings.cam.ac.uk) The chapel's fan-vaulted ceiling, the largest of its kind, and its extensive stained-glass windows are considered masterpieces of their era. Today, the chapel remains an active place of worship and is home to the world-famous Choir of King's College, Cambridge. (en.wikipedia.org)
