St John's College Chapel
St John's College is one of the largest in Cambridge, with more than 150 resident senior academics (Fellows), 580 undergraduates and 300 graduates. There are more than 700 student rooms on the College estate, which dates to 1511.
This is the new chapel, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott and constructed 1863-69. The stained glass windows show scenes from the life of Christ, with scenes from the descent from the cross shown in the far windows (more uplifting than the old chapel which had lots of impalements).
Notable Christians from each century are depicted on the painted ceiling, which has good Victorian style and was restored in 1982.
