Magdalene College Chapel

Smaller and more intimate than most college chapels, Magdalene Chapel is a haven of peace at the heart of the community. Built in the 1470s, it embodies Magdalene's rich heritage - our patron saint's life is depicted in the East Window, while memorials commemorate missionaries, church leaders, teachers, and those who gave their lives in conflict.

This historic building is also a living place which brings people together in worship, reflection, and prayer for the community. All members of the college community, whatever their religious beliefs, are welcome to all services. The Chapel is also open each day for those who wish to pray, reflect, or just seek some quiet in this beautiful and peaceful place.

There are a variety of opportunities to assist with worship (by reading lessons, leading prayers, or serving as a chapel officer) and to explore matters of faith and belief - see the Term Card or contact the Chaplain
