A combination of the traditional and the modern, the 16th and 17th century courts blend attractively with the 20th century Cripps and Fisher Buildings. The renowned Bridge of Sighs leads to the 19th century Gothic New Court which stands at the end of an expanse of grass and trees beside the river.
St John’s College is one of the largest of the University’s residential Colleges. The serene atmosphere of the ancient courts is complemented by the comfort, spaciousness and convenience of its modern accommodation. The Fisher Building, opened during the summer of 1988, has several meetings rooms and a large 250 seat lecture theatre, all of which are equipped with the very latest audio-visual and presentation technology.

The College was founded in 1511 by the last will and testament of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, on the original medieval site of the hospital of St John. The buildings have been added to steadily over the years. Outstanding features include the Dining Hall with its 16th century hammer beam roof and fine old linen-fold paneling and the Chapel built by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Victorian Gothic style.
