Building
The college was founded by Nicholas & Dorothy Wadham in 1613. The main building, by William
Arnold, is a fairly traditional Oxford Gothic design. The Great Hall is notable for its great
hammer-beam roof and for the Jacobean woodwork of the entrance screen. The garden, one of the best
in Oxford, was laid out in its present form in 1796. The Chapel is part of the original College
building of 1610, in a conservative Gothic style. Its great screen is by William Bolton, the pulpit
original but the sanctuary stonework and ceiling are of 1832 and the glass is a mix of 17th century
and Victorian.
