College of God's Gift, Historical educational complex in Dulwich, England

The College of God's Gift encompasses multiple buildings, including a chapel, schoolhouse, and almshouses, forming an educational institution in South London.

Edward Alleyn, a successful Elizabethan actor and businessman, established the College of God's Gift in 1619 after receiving authorization from King James I.

The institution maintains Christ's Chapel with its 1759 George England organ, which remains the earliest surviving instrument from this notable organ builder.

The complex operates under several registered charities, including Dulwich Estate, Alleyn's School, Dulwich College, and James Allen's Girls' School.

The college received criticism from Francis Bacon during its establishment, yet persevered to become a Grade II listed building in 1954.
