Step through the Turl Street gate and into our first quadrangle, which features the Chapel and our Principal’s Lodgings, both of which date back to the College’s founding in 1571 and are still used for their original purpose today.
The first quad at Jesus College.
Visit our stunning Elizabethan Hall, resplendent with portraits of our foundress Queen, former Principals and current Fellows, as well as one of the College’s most well-known alumni – TE Lawrence – otherwise known as Lawrence of Arabia.
Our larger 17th century second quad is home to many of our first-year undergraduates and Fellows. Take a seat on one of the benches that surround the lawn and abundant flower beds to soak up the atmosphere of this unique Oxford college.
The building of the College’s Second Quadrangle began in 1639
