Christ's College

Christ's College

Christ's College was first established as God's-house in 1437 by William Byngham, it was then re-founded in 1505 by Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII. Lady Margaret has been honoured ever since as the Foundress. The oldest part of the College dates back to the 15th century and forms the heart of College activities containing the Master's Lodge, Dining Hall, Chapel and Buttery Bar.

The Fellows' Garden situated in the centre of the College is a peaceful and tranquil haven and the gardens are still set in a layout that was established in 1825. One of the highlights of the garden is Milton's Mulberry Tree, which still bears a yearly fruit crop.

The College is located in the heart of the city centre and has a mix of old and new buildings with a varied range of meeting rooms and dining rooms.
