===Chapel and Deneke=== [[File:Deneke Building LMH.png|thumb|The 1932 Deneke Building]] To the northeast extends the large [[Deneke Building]] (1932) along with the hall and the college's [[Byzantine architecture|Byzantine-style]] chapel where the choir practises and carol services are held in Michaelmas term. These were designed by [[Giles Gilbert Scott]]. The dining hall has a reputation for serving the best meals of any Oxford college, and is one of only a few Oxford colleges to serve [[Halal]] meals. The chapel has simple decoration with several paintings on the walls, and a statue of [[Margaret Beaufort]] that lies in the central section of the chapel. The passageway that leads to the chapel is referred to within the college as "Hell's Passage". The name was derived from the 19th-century illustrations of [[Dante]]'s ''[[Inferno (Dante)|Inferno]]'', by [[John D. Batten]], that used to decorate its walls.<ref name="Hell's Passage">{{cite web|url=http://www.lmh.ox.ac.uk/about-lmh/principal/hells-passage-principals-blog/hells-passage |title=Hell's Passage? |website=lmh.ox.ac.uk|access-date=22 February 2019}}</ref> The chapel is in the form of a [[Greek cross]] and was dedicated by the college's founder Edward Stuart Talbot, in January 1933.<ref>Alden (1958)</ref> In the autumn of 2019, [[Andrew Foreshew-Cain]] became Chaplain. In April 2019, he and other [[LGBT]] clergy in the [[Church of England]] started the ''Campaign for Equal Marriage in the Church of England'', calling on the church to allow same-sex couples to be married in Church of England parishes and to stop discriminating against people in such marriages.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Siddons |first1=Edward |title=The rebel priest: 'Gay people in the church are not going to go away' |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/07/rebel-priest-gay-church-campaign-same-sex-marriage |access-date=11 January 2021 |work=The Guardian |date=7 May 2019}}</ref>
