=== Front Quadrangle === The Front Quadrangle sits on roughly the site of the medieval college, although of the earliest buildings, only Palmer's Tower in the north-eastern corner remains.<ref name=":2" /> Constructed in 1432, the tower, which was once the primary entrance to the college, now houses various offices and lodgings for fellows, and at its base is a memorial to members who were killed in the Second World War. The quadrangle is dominated by the chapel, designed by Sir [[George Gilbert Scott]] and constructed in 1854β1860,<ref name=":2" /> which was heavily inspired by the [[Sainte-Chapelle]] in Paris. On the opposite side stands the hall, constructed in 1618,<ref name=":2" /> notable for its vaulted ceilings and numerous fine portraits, underneath which is the college bar. Building work over the following century resulted in the quadrangle taking on its current appearance in 1710.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} The Front Quadrangle also houses the Junior, Middle and Senior Common Rooms, as well as lodgings for fellows and undergraduates.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}}
