Description
Wadham College, established in 1485, features a main quadrangle that includes the Chapel, Hall, Kitchen, Library, and Cloister. The college has ranges on the North, South, and West sides, with the West side containing a gatehouse. In the late 18th century, attics were converted into rooms, and other alterations were made, including the installation of sash windows. The Warden's Lodging was relocated from the West range to the North range between 1626 and 1640, with further alterations in 1812 and 1832.
The East range houses the ante-chapel and Chapel, which is notable for its stained glass created by Bernard van Linge in 1622. The Chapel underwent restoration by Blore in 1832, including the creation of the ceiling, which was later repaired in 1908. Additional restoration occurred in 1885-1886. In 1935-1936, the external parapet on the South side was renewed using Farmington stone, with further work in Clipsham stone completed in 1939. The original chapel windows featured tracery crafted by masons William Arnold and John Spicer. The Hall roof was constructed by carpenter Thomas Holt in 1611 and was repaired in 1908. The Kitchen was largely rebuilt in 1872, with a corridor added leading from the Hall, and the Library situated above it. The Cloister is located against the East wall of the Hall and the ante-chapel.
