St Johns College, North Range Including Chapel And Hall

St John's College, built in 1485, features a North Range that includes the Chapel and Hall. The Hall is located on the west side, while the Chapel is on the east, with a passageway between them. The Buttery and Kitchen are situated to the north-west of the Hall. The Chapel was consecrated in 1550, and the Baylie Chapel was added at the north-east angle between 1662 and 1669, later refitted in 1949. The entire structure was remodeled by Edward Blore in 1843. The eastern part of the Hall was built in 1502, with the western bay added in 1616. A stone screen, designed by James Gibbs and constructed by William Townesend in 1743, was moved back to the west in 1935. The chimneypiece, also by William Townesend, was completed in 1731 at the expense of John Preston. The panelling dates from 1744, and the ceiling is from 1730. The western part of the building was constructed in the 15th century, with a cellar below that likely belonged to the previous Hall of St Bernard's College, established in 1437. The room above the Buttery, now serving as a gallery for the Hall, features 18th-century panelling.
