Choir
The Chapel Choir was formed in 1849 and is composed of volunteer boy choristers from local schools
together with adult singers from the university and the city. This all male choir is one of only
three college choirs of its kind in Cambridge. It sings two of the four Choral Evensongs and the
Eucharists. The Mixed Choir was formed in 1980 to allow women undergraduates the opportunity to
sing in Chapel and it sings two Choral Evensongs a week. A Director of Chapel Music was only
appointed in 1999 after which the Chapel music has been much expended. There are two organ
scholars.

Building
The college was founded in 1496 by Bishop John Alcock, when it consisted of the old Nunnery
buildings - the chapel, cloister, refectory, and lodgings of the Prioress. Thomas Cranmer was the
most famous alumni of this early period. 19th century building included a major restoration of the
Chapel by Augustus Pugin - new choir stalls, Chancel floor tiles, a higher pitched roof in the 13th
century style, and a new East window. In 1869 a new range of college rooms was built by Alfred
Waterhouse. In the present century the new library is part of a new court to be built adjoining
Chapel Court.
