Brasenose College Chapel

2 reviews of Brasenose College Chapel

beautiful wooden ceiling

Brasenose is a small school, that forms part of Oxford University. It is located in Radcliffe Square and its beautiful chapel is located on campus. Tradition has it that every Sunday they say a prayer, and give thanks in Latin before dinner, and then after dinner they also pray in Latin.

The small chapel is located in the southern part, connected to the library's courtyard. But the courtyard was abandoned in order to build dormitories and classrooms.

The seventeenth-century chapel is open to visitors and the most noticeable part is the beautiful wooden ceiling. It is not flat, but instead has several fronts, that are painted and gilded.

The ceiling is from the fifteenth century. The wood comes from the school of St Mary on New Inn Hall street. It looks like an open fan. It is one of the latest Oxford chapels built in a T-shaped, with an entry room before entering the main choir.

Brasenose est un petit collège, qui fait partie de l’université d’Oxford. Il est situé sur la place Radcliffe, et sa jolie chapelle se trouve a l’intérieur de l’enceinte de l’université. La tradition veut que chaque dimanche, on récite une prière, et on dise les grâces avant de manger, en latin, ainsi qu’une prière en latin après le diner. La petite chapelle est construite dans la partie sud, connectée au patio central par la bibliothèque. Mais le patio a été abandonné pour construire des dortoirs et des salles de classe. La chapelle date du XVIIe siècle, elle est ouverte aux visiteurs, et ce que l’on remarque le plus, c’est le beau toit vouté en bois peint, avec des moulures et des dorures tout le long des arcs. On dirait un éventail ouvert. C’est l’une des dernières chapelles d’Oxford construites en forme de T, avec l’anti chapelle avant d’entrer dans le chœur principal.
Brasenose College is a small, part of the University of Oxford. It is located on Radcliffe Square, and is a beautiful chapel inside the grounds of the university. Tradition dictates that every Sunday, a prayer is recited, and we say grace before eating, Latin and a Latin prayer after dinner. The small chapel was built in the southern part, connected to the central patio by the library. But the patio was abandoned to build dormitories and classrooms. The chapel dates from the seventeenth century, it is open to visitors, and what is most amazing is the beautiful vaulted roof painted wood with gilded moldings and arches throughout. Looks like an open fan. This is one of the last built chapels of Oxford T-shaped, with anti chapel before entering the main choir.
