Dining Hall And Cloister Walks

The Dining Hall and Cloister Walks at St. Peter's College in Radley were built between 1893 and 1894, with later additions by Sir T.G. Jackson. The dining hall is constructed of English bond brick with limestone ashlar dressings and features a gabled roof covered with old tiles. It has a lateral stack made of banded brick and stone next to a bay window. The building is a single storey with a seven-bay range, designed in the Perpendicular style. A Tudor-arched doorway is located to the left of the center, with a tall bay window to the right that has stone mullioned and transomed windows. The other bays contain three-light and one two-light Perpendicular-style windows, framed by offset buttresses that have linking four-centred arches with brick and stone chequer work in the spandrels. The east gable wall features a large Perpendicular-style window. Inside, there is a tall panelled dado, a corbelled French-style fireplace, and a cusped tie-beam roof with traceried spandrels supporting the arch braces.

The cloisters are T-shaped and connect the west ends of the dining hall and chapel, with an arm linked to Radley Hall, using similar materials and standing two storeys high. Each bay is divided by offset buttresses, with one-light cusped windows above four-light Decorated-style windows. The nine-bay east wall includes a central gabled porch with a Tudor-arched doorway and a Decorated-style door at the rear.
