St Bartholomew's Chapel, Oxford, Medieval church building in Cowley Road, Oxford, England

The stone chapel stands with a single-cell design, featuring large two-light windows and a continuous roof over the nave and chancel sections.

Founded in 1126 by Henry I as part of a leper hospital, the chapel received reconstruction in 1329 when Edward III placed it under Oriel College's authority.

The chapel maintains Anglican traditions through monthly Evensong services using the Book of Common Prayer, connecting present-day worshippers with centuries of religious practice.

Visitors can attend services at 5:15 PM on the last Sunday of each month, with additional meditation sessions every Wednesday during warmer months.

The chapel experienced varied functions throughout its existence, including a period when it served as a storage space for cattle before its restoration.
