Description

St Edmund Hall, located in Oxford, features the East Range, which includes a chapel and library, and dates back to 1485. A small house at the south end was constructed in the early 17th century. The chapel was built between 1680 and 1682, with Bartholomew Peisley as the mason, and it includes woodwork by Arthur Frogley. This chapel is notable for being the first entirely Classical chapel in Oxford. The library is situated on the first floor of the ante-chapel, with its internal fittings completed in 1686. Frogley's gallery is still present.
