Description
The North Range of the Outer Court at Jesus College was built between 1638 and 1640. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and consists of three storeys, designed in a style similar to the South Range. The windows on the lower floors have square heads, while those on the second floor feature 4-centred heads. The building retains its original lead rainwater pipes. Although the interior has undergone significant refitting, it still includes two original staircases, some 18th-century fielded panelling, and six-panel doors.
