Corpus Christi College, The Buildings Surrounding The Old And New Courts Including The Master'S Lodge

Corpus Christi College includes the buildings surrounding the Old and New Courts, as well as the Master's Lodge. The Old Court dates from 1352 to 1376 and is the oldest set of buildings in Cambridge designed for college use, remaining largely intact. It features rubble construction with clunch dressings, two storeys and an attic. Some original windows and doorways are present, though many have been altered. The interiors contain numerous 17th and 18th century fittings, and the roofs are tiled. A sundial is located on the north wall, along with two cast-iron lamp brackets with lanterns and three without. There is a modern bay window on the south range, which has five lights with stone mullions and a transom, and leaded lattice casements. The south range includes the Hall built in 1825-1826, as well as a gallery from around 1500, made of stone and brick, with two storeys and the gallery above. St Benet's Church originally served as the college chapel. The New Court, constructed between 1823 and 1827 by William Wilkins, is made of Ketton stone ashlar and white brick, and has three storeys and attics. The chapel, also designed by William Wilkins, underwent alterations in 1870 by Sir Arthur Blomfield and features two windows of Rhenish glass from around 1510-1515. The Master's Lodge, designed by William Wilkins, retains contemporary interior features.
