===The Chapel===
The College Chapel was built in the 18th century. George Clarke, Henry Keene, and James Wyatt were responsible for different stages of its lengthy construction (1720–1791), owing to a shortage of funds. The interior columns and pilasters, the dome, and the delicate foliage plastering are all Wyatt's work. His classical interior was insufficiently emphatic for the tastes of militant Victorian churchmen, and between 1864 and 1866 the chapel was redecorated by [[William Burges]]. It is highly unusual and decorative; being predominantly pink, the pews are decorated with carved animals, including kangaroos and whales, and the walls are riotously colourful, and include frescoes of dodos and peacocks. Its [[stained glass]] windows were to have been designed by [[John Everett Millais]], but Burges rejected his designs and entrusted the work to [[Henry Holiday]]. Oscar Wilde said of the Chapel, "As a piece of simple decorative and beautiful art it is perfect, and the windows very artistic."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.worcesterchapel.co.uk/the-chapel/ |title=Worcester College Chapel &#124; The Chapel |publisher=Worcesterchapel.co.uk |date=2014-06-20 |access-date=2017-02-19 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170220012548/http://www.worcesterchapel.co.uk/the-chapel/ |archive-date=2017-02-20 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
