Henry Mansfield Cannon Memorial Chapel, also known as Cannon Chapel, is an American historic chapel located on the University of Richmond campus in Richmond, Virginia. It was designed by architect Charles M. Robinson and built in 1929 in the Late Gothic Revival style. It is constructed of brick, stone, and concrete and has a rectangular plan with a telescoping projection at the rear. During the mid-1980s, new stained glass windows were installed as part of a renovation project. [3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. [1]

The Chapel houses "The Stained Glass Windows of Cannon Memorial Chapel," of which there are 22 in all. They were designed by Brenda Belfield of Alexandria, VA. The theme of the windows is "Let All the Universe Praise Thee, O God."
