The Truro School Chapel was founded in 1927. On 8 June 1928 the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) laid the foundation stone. The students were ‘agog with excitement’ and it was felt that ‘this was the greatest day of our history, for it was the first time a Royal visit had been paid to the School’. After a brief speech, and a request for an extra week to be added to the summer holiday, the Prince declared the foundation stone ‘well and truly laid’.
