The Foundation Stone of the Chapel was laid in 1928 (before the College was opened) by the first Archbishop of Perth, C.O.L. Riley.

The front doors of the Chapel are called the 'West Doors'. Most churches are built to run east - west, but the College Chapel runs north - south. The south end of the Chapel is called the 'West front' and the northern part is called the 'East end' in keeping with the tradition. On the exterior of the 'West' Wall are the five 'blazons' of the five Dioceses to which Crawley has belonged (Canterbury, Calcutta, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth).

The stained glass window in the West front has five panels. The figures depicted are from left to right (when facing the windows from inside the Chapel):

1. Archbishop Cuthbert Owen Leaver Riley (who laid the Foundation Stone and who was also the first Chancellor of UWA);
2. St. Boniface (an eighth century English saint);
3. St. Augustine (sixth century saint generally credited with bringing Christianity to England);
4. S. Aidan (seventh century English missionary); and
5. Archbishop William Grant Broughton (Bishop of Australia when Crawley was part of that Diocese).

The area just inside the internal Chapel doors is called the 'ante-chapel'. The painting on the 'North' wall is 'In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of men" by Carol Rudyard, 1971. The painting on the 'South' wall is "Christus Rex" by Guy Grey Smith, 1964.

The arrangement of pews facing each other is called 'collegiate'. It is common in the chancels of Cathedrals and in College Chapels. The altar has been moved from its original position which was hard against the 'East' wall. Originally the priest would have celebrated the Eucharist with his back to the congregation but now the priest celebrates from behind the altar, facing the congregation.

The 'East' window has three panels, depicting Jesus (centre), St. George (left) and St. Paul (right).

The baby grand piano is German and an unusual bell shape. It was probably built in Stuttgart in the 1920's. The pipe organ was built by an Adelaide firm JE Dodd & Son in 1931. The organ has 518 pipes - the smallest is 1.5 inches long.

The painting on the 'North' wall just in front of the Sanctuary is a triptych which was given to the College as part of the John Gill collection. It is a portable altar piece, probably Flemish or north German in origin. Although it is dated 1507 we cannot be sure of this date. The figure in the left hand panel is St. John and the figure in the right hand panel is St. Joseph.
