Chapel Court

The spacious lawn of Chapel Court is overlooked by our Grade 1 listed Chapel, dating from 1245.

A versatile space for outdoor events, Chapel Court lies to the east of Cloister Court and Second Court and can be reached through passageways from either.

Until the 1880s it was an empty green space, labelled "Master's Paddock" on a plan of 1850. It began to be developed as a new court when the Carpenter Building was constructed in 1885-6. Made from dark red brick, this was designed by the architect Richard Herbert Carpenter to house student accommodation. The three-sided structure of the court was completed during 1927-30, when a further supply of rooms for students and Fellows was provided in the Morley Horder Building, named for its architect, Percy Richard Morley Horder.
