Wren300 Exhibition

An exhibition from Trinity’s Archives tells the story of Wren’s relationship with College President Ralph Bathurst, and his role in the restoration of Trinity’s fortunes through the impact of his magnificent buildings. Visitors will be able to explore the evolution of Wren’s free-standing Garden Quad building as it exists today. Materials on display will include an original ‘unbuilt’ Wren design; a bantering 1665 letter from Wren grumbling about where his building was to stand, and some of the original workmen’s equipment discovered beneath the floor during the 2017 Chapel restoration. Details of other Wren300 exhibits in Oxford will be announced on our website.
