About this listen

 Encounters is something of a hybrid podcast. It's part conversation, part personalised walking tour of one of the world's most iconic buildings: King's College Chapel. Hosted by Dean of Chapel, Reverend Dr Stephen Cherry, each encounter explores the role King's College Chapel has played in the lives of each of his guests.2025 Art Social Sciences

  • A Serious House: Sir Simon Jenkins on the architecture of King's College Chapel

    A Serious House: Sir Simon Jenkins on the architecture of King's College Chapel
    Dec 9 2025

    While writing his book England's Thousand Best Churches, Sir Simon Jenkins visited over 2000 churches in Britain. At a reception for the book George Carey, then Archbishop of Canterbury, asked Simon 'You have been to more churches than I have; does none of it rub off?' He replied: 'You lot didn't rub off, but something did.'

    Join Dr Stephen Cherry and Sir Simon Jenkins as they take you on a walking tour of Simon's 'favourite building in Britain'. You'll learn plenty about the various building phases of the Chapel, as well as a couple of new definitions of the word 'Goth'.
