Brickwork in chapel, Britannia Royal Naval College
The interior walls of the chapel are brick built in English Bond, alternate courses are long stretchers or short headers, "headers centred over the midpoint of the stretchers, and perpends in each alternate course aligned" (words from Wikipedia). The pillars and arches are limestone.
Britannia Royal Naval College :: SX8751
Britannia Royal Naval College is the main establishment training Naval officers. It was built at Dartmouth in 1905, designed by Sir George Aston Webb. From 1863 the training hulks Britannia and Hindostan were moored on the river; when these wooden ships became unsuitable nearby land was purchased as a base.
