Chichele College: the remains of the medieval college of Higham Ferrers
Chichele College: the remains of the medieval college of Higham Ferrers, Medieval archaeological site in Higham Ferrers, England.
The remains of Chichele College include a gatehouse, chapel, and sections of college buildings with Gothic architectural elements and stone craftsmanship.
Henry Chichele, who later became Archbishop of Canterbury, established this educational institution in 1422 to train clergy and church leaders.
The chapel currently functions as a space for art exhibitions and heritage events, connecting the medieval past with present-day community activities.
The college grounds feature a gravel drive and flat gardens with closely mown grass, accessible during daylight hours throughout the year.
The gardens have been transformed to replicate a medieval Cloister Garth through local fundraising efforts and Big Lottery Fund support.
