Viewed across Bath Road from the corner of Burdett Road. A Stonehouse History Group information board records that in its early days, Wycliffe was closely linked to the Methodist church in Stonehouse which at that time met in an iron chapel at Ryeford. Land next to Ivy Grove was used in 1911 to build a chapel to be shared by the school and the Methodists. The clock tower and spire were added in 1921 as a memorial to the 77 Old Wycliffians who died in the Great War (now usually known as the First World War). In 1939 the chapel was transferred from the Methodist church to the school.
