The first Court was built between 1511-16, Second Court 1599-1601, and a new Library building by John Williams, in 1624-26. The college has a chapel, built in 19th century, a stained glass windows that depict scenes of the life of Christ St John is always shown in deep red and green. In the New Court across the river is the Bridge of Sighs and this connects the new court to the third court.
