beautiful wooden ceiling
Brasenose is a small school, that forms part of Oxford University. It is located in Radcliffe Square and its beautiful chapel is located on campus. Tradition has it that every Sunday they say a prayer, and give thanks in Latin before dinner, and then after dinner they also pray in Latin.
The small chapel is located in the southern part, connected to the library's courtyard. But the courtyard was abandoned in order to build dormitories and classrooms.
The seventeenth-century chapel is open to visitors and the most noticeable part is the beautiful wooden ceiling. It is not flat, but instead has several fronts, that are painted and gilded.
The ceiling is from the fifteenth century. The wood comes from the school of St Mary on New Inn Hall street. It looks like an open fan. It is one of the latest Oxford chapels built in a T-shaped, with an entry room before entering the main choir.
