Christ's Chapel is in the parish of St Barnabas, Dulwich, and provides a second place of worship alongside the parish church. It is a beautiful 17th-century chapel, consecrated in 1616, and was among the first buildings constructed by Edward Alleyn, the celebrated Elizabethan actor, as his ‘College of God’s Gift’. The Book of Common Prayer and the Authorised Version of the Bible are used for almost all regular services in the Chapel. There is an 8am said service of Holy Communion each Sunday and either 10am sung Matins (first Sunday) or 6pm Evensong (subsequent Sundays, sung or choral), except during the summer, when there is only the 8am service.
Our parish of Dulwich, St Barnabas with Christ's Chapel, is committed to safeguarding children, young people and adults from harm. We follow the House of Bishops' guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officers (PSOs). Our Diocese of Southwark’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser who advises our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the PSOs or the Diocesan Safeguarding Adviser via [email protected] or 020 7939 9441 (Monday to Friday 9am – 5pm) or 020 3874 6743 for urgent matters outside these hours. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority’s children or adult social care services.
