St. John's College
St John’s College was founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas White when he bought the premises of the former St Bernard’s College and the ground to the east of it. It was the first Oxford college to be founded by a merchant rather than a churchman.
The buildings of Front Quad are arranged in a perfect square with the entrance from St Giles on the west side. The west range was built in the 1490‘s and consists of two residential blocks on either side of a battlemented gate tower with an elaborately moulded archway in the Perpendicular Gothic style. These buildings remain much as they were in the 15th century except for the attic windows inserted in the 1600‘s to light new rooms created under the roof.
