More information on New College
Head for the spot where New College Lane meets Queen's Lane, enter through the narrow gate tower, and you'll find a college much more extensive and spacious than you'd have imagined. This was the seventh Oxford college to be founded (in 1379) and the first to admit undergraduates. New College boasts of an ancient city wall, as well as the impressive great quadrangle, with buildings dating from the 15th century. The college chapel has a window painted by Thomas Jervais in the late 18th century. The style of the nativity scene caused great controversy at the time, not least because the artist incorporated society figures of the day into the painting, including for instance, the wife of the poet Sheridan as the Virgin Mary.
