====Chapel==== [[File:Trinity College Chapel.jpg|thumb|Trinity College's chapel]] [[File:Side portal of Trinity College, Toronto.jpg|thumb|Entrance to Trinity College's chapel]] The Trinity College Chapel was built with funds donated by Gerald Larkin, head of the Salada Tea Company from 1922 to 1957. It was designed in the modified perpendicular Gothic style by renowned English architect [[Giles Gilbert Scott]], who was also responsible for the [[Liverpool Cathedral]] and the ubiquitous [[red telephone box]]es seen throughout Britain.<ref>[http://www.icons.org.uk/theicons/collection/the-phone-box/biography/the-red-phone-box-biography-finished The Red Phone Box Biography] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717045052/http://www.icons.org.uk/theicons/collection/the-phone-box/biography/the-red-phone-box-biography-finished|date=2011-07-17}}, retrieved 14 January 2015</ref> The chapel extends {{convert|100|ft|m}} to the reredos and is {{convert|47|ft|m}} high at the vault bosses.<ref name="Walking" /> Using only stone, brick, and cement, Italian stonemasons employed ancient building methods; the only steel in the construction is in the hidden girders supporting the slate roof, with the exterior walls being sandstone. The Chapel contains several architectural sculptures, including a tympanum by Emmanuel Hahn as well as a carved lintel and tympanum by Jacobine Jones, who also carved the wooden angels on the baptistry. The Lady Chapel's altar was preserved from the original Queen Street location chapel, while the matching sedilia was donated by [[Robertson Davies]]' widow in his memory.<ref>{{Cite book|title=A Guide to the Trinity College Chapel|last=Lassam|first=Sylvia|publisher=Trinity College Archives|location=Toronto}}</ref> In the chapel a memorial tablet in Indiana limestone designed by Allan George, with lettering and medallions by A.
