Description

Christ Church in Canterbury Quadrangle was built in 1773 by James Wyatt, funded by Richard Robinson, the Archbishop of Armagh. The Doric gateway was completed in 1778, and the South West block was constructed in 1783, also at the expense of Richard Robinson. The picture gallery in the South range was added in 1968-69.
