You might think the peal of chapel bells ringing across the college on a Sunday morning would be the stuff of nightmares for students sleeping off a hangover, but those at Oxford, Cambridge and Durham beg to differ.

At the three universities, where most constituent colleges have their own chapels, students are more than twice as likely to attend Sunday services as the wider population, chapel attendance figures seen by The Times show.

Chaplains have said that students flock to their chapels fuelled by an “academic” curiosity about faith, particularly because their parents were less likely than previous generations to have taken their children to church.

Students have also spoken of having a “place of calm” away from the hurly burly of student life.
