Description

St John's College, West Range, was built around 1480-1490 and features a central gatehouse that has been restored. Attics were added in 1572-1573, and dormers and battlements were added to the west front in 1615, which has since been refaced. Additionally, a low wall in front of the college was constructed in 1579.
