St Edmund Hall
St Edmund Hall lies just off the High Street on Queen's Lane. The surviving medieval hall became a college while retaining its older name and compact historic setting.
Why go
The Hall reveals a different strand of Oxford history from the formal colleges on the High. Its Front Quad and the former St Peter-in-the-East church show how an older teaching hall grew into a college. The church now serves as a library, so its role is best understood through the site rather than assumed public interior access.
What to look for
The Front Quad preserves the hall's enclosed college scale.
The former St Peter-in-the-East church is now the college library.
Useful to know
Turn from the High into Queen's Lane to find the main entrance.
Check the college visitor information before planning to enter the quad.
