Front Quad

Front Quad

Pass through the gate house and you again see an essentially medieval building. Here lived the Warden (originally in rooms beside the gatehouse); the forty Fellows, who until the eighteenth century shared sleeping quarters (still indicated by the wider 'two-lighted' windows), but had individual study carrels (the narrower, 'single-light' windows). There was also a number of chaplains, choristers, clerks, and servants. Today the quadrangle still houses Fellows' bedrooms (now individual) and studies, as well as administrative offices. The Chapel takes up the whole north side of the quadrangle.
