Brasenose College was founded in 1509, with the College library and chapel - shown here- added in the mid-seventeenth century. Its odd name is believed to derive from the name of a decorative brass or bronze knocker that adorned the main hall's door. Its chapel, a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles, features a hanging fan vault ceiling of wood and plaster, and was consecrated in 1666.
