About the Chapel of St. Mary and St. George: The Chapel of St. Mary and St. George was constructed for, and continues to be used by, Guildford Grammar School. It was designed by prominent English gothic revival architect Sir Walter Tapper and is built in a Gothic Perpendicular Revival style. Plans to build a chapel to service the school were proposed shortly after the appointment of headmaster Reverend Percy Henn in 1909. Penn appealed for funds and managed to secure the benefaction of London businessman and Philanthropist Cecil Oliverson, which covered the costs of building and furnishing the chapel. Building began in 1912 and the chapel was completed and consecrated in 1914. The replication of a â€˜village greenâ€™ setting, in which the chapel is situated on a flat expanse of grass and framed by the schoolâ€™s other buildings, is notable.

When they left York, it was converted into one of the oldest libraries in WA. The building embodies features that are typically characteristic of the Gothic Revival style of architecture, which was popular in the United Kingdom, Australia and other British colonies in the nineteenth century. As an architectural style, it is based on the close examination of medieval structures, and a concern with 'authenticity' of design. It is often symbolic of conservative qualities such as, continuity, stability, religious authority and tradition. The vaulted ceilings of this building is a feature which is particularly characteristic of the nineteenth-century Gothic style of architecture. At present, the building is privately owned and opens as an Antique shop on weekends.
