Christ'S College, The Buildings Surrounding Entrance Court, With The South East Range Of Second Court

Christ's College features a collection of buildings surrounding the Entrance Court, including the South-East range of the Second Court. The West Range, which includes the Gatehouse, is part of the Founder's buildings from the early 16th century, showcasing an elaborate coat-of-arms of the Foundress above the gate. This range was refaced in Ketton stone on the west side by Robert Grumbold in 1714 and on the east side by James Essex between 1760 and 1761. It retains original interior features along with many from the 18th century. The Library at the south end of this range was extended and modernised by Bodley and Garner from 1895 to 1897.

The North Range and Chapel date back to the early 16th century and were refaced in 1766 by James Essex. The Chapel itself was built in 1510-1511, refitted in the early 18th century by Robert Grumbold, and restored by Bodley and Garner in 1899, with a cupola added in 1722. The timber ceiling is original, while the Ante-chapel features an 18th-century roof and 16th-century panelling. The organ dates to 1705, the lectern is from the early 16th century, and the reredos was created by John Austin between 1702 and 1703, with glass from around 1500.

The East Range, which includes the Hall, is also from the early 16th century and was refronted by Essex. Its interior features elements from various periods, and the Hall was rebuilt by G. G. Scott from 1876 to 1879, incorporating an 18th-century cupola and various older fittings. The Master's Lodge was refronted between 1769 and 1770 and restored in 1911, reusing an elaborate oriel window by Essex. The South Range, like the others, was refaced in 1758 and contains good original and 18th-century internal features, including much panelling.

The South-East Range of the Second Court was built in 1823 in the Tudor style and extended in 1867, with the architect remaining unknown. This three-storey structure is made of brick faced with Roman cement. The Lecture Room was constructed between 1875 and 1879 and features fine bolection moulded panelling from 1723. Additionally, there is a gateway to the Master's Lodge from Hobson Street, built in the 16th century, made of red brick with a four-centred arch.
