==Buildings== St Peter's has a varied set of buildings, many of them much older than the college itself. The college has, in effect, adapted existing buildings to provide the collective facilities needed for college life, and built new ones to provide student accommodation.{{fact|date=March 2021}} ===Linton Quad=== [[File:UK-2014-Oxford-St Peter's College 02.jpg|thumb|View of Linton House from Linton Quad.]] Linton House, a [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] rectory dating from 1797, stands on the east side of Linton Quad along New Inn Hall Street. It was originally built as the offices for the Oxford Canal Company and called Wyaston House. It was bought in 1878 by Canon Henry Linton who converted it to a [[rectory]] for the [[Church of St Peter-le-Bailey]]. Now known as Linton House, it serves as the porter's lodge (the entrance to the college) and is also home to the college library.<ref name="VCH3" /><ref name="he_linton">{{NHLE |num=1046616 |desc=ST PETER'S COLLEGE, LINTON HOUSE |access-date=18 July 2021}}</ref> On the south side of the quad stands the college chapel, the [[Church of St Peter-le-Bailey]]. Built in 1874 and incorporating some of the stone of an earlier church, it is the third church of that name on or close to the site since the 12th century.<ref name="VCH4">{{cite work |title=St Peter-le-Bailey |url=https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/oxon/vol4/pp369-412 |chapter=Churches |volume=4 |work=A History of the County of Oxford |author=Eleanor Chance |author2=Christina Colvin |author3=Janet Cooper |author4=C J Day |author5=T G Hassall |author6=Mary Jessup |author7=Nesta Selwyn. |access-date=18 July 2021|year=1954}}</ref><ref name="he_chapel">{{NHLE |num=1369709 |desc=ST PETERS COLLEGE, CHAPEL (CHURCH OF ST PETER LE BAILEY) |access-date=18 July 2021}}</ref> Memorials to members of the [[Chavasse family]] in the chapel include Captain [[Noel Godfrey Chavasse|Noel Chavasse]]'s original grave cross, a large [[bas-relief]] of Bishop [[Francis James Chavasse|Francis Chavasse]] at prayer and the Chavasse memorial window.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.spc.ox.ac.uk/content/chavasse-family-papers |title=Chavasse Family Papers |website=St Peters College, Oxford |access-date=18 July 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141223060404/http://www.spc.ox.ac.uk/content/chavasse-family-papers |archive-date=23 December 2014}}</ref> The quad also includes the Latner building.{{fact|date=March 2021}} ===Hannington Quad=== [[File:St Peters College Oxford Hannington Hall 1.jpg|thumb|Hannington Hall, here viewed from New Inn Hall Street, is a surviving part of the [[New Inn Hall, Oxford|New Inn Hall]] buildings.]] In the Hannington Quad stands Hannington Hall. It dates from 1832 and is the only surviving part of New Inn Hall. The building was originally commissioned by [[John Cramer (priest)|John Cramer]], principal of New Inn Hall, as student accommodation and was designed by architect Thomas Greenshields. When New Inn Hall was absorbed by [[Balliol College, Oxford|Balliol]] in 1887 and most of New Inn Hall's buildings were demolished to make room for the Central Girls School building (now part of St Peter's Chavasse Quad), the Cramer building survived. It was bought by Reverend Talbot Rice, rector of St-Peter-le-Bailey, in 1897 and renamed after the Victorian missionary Bishop [[James Hannington]]. After the founding of St Peter's it was remodelled to function as the dining hall.<ref name="VCH3" /> The quad was formed by the construction of an accommodation block designed by Sir [[Herbert Baker]] and [[Fielding Dodd]] behind the older buildings.<ref>{{cite book |last=Tyack |first=Geoffrey |date=1998 |title=Oxford: An Architectural Guide |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FsOx8eHkOC8C&pg=PA284 |publisher=[[Oxford University Press]] |page=284 |isbn=978-0-19-817423-3}}</ref> ===Chavasse Quad=== [[File:New Inn Hall Street Schools - line drawing by Leonard Stokes.png|thumb|Architect's drawing of the New Inn Hall Street schools by Leonard Stoke.

In 2018 the new Hubert Perrodo Building was completed offering further on-site accommodation and conference spaces.{{fact|date=March 2021}} The [[Middle Common Room]] (MCR) for postgraduates, and a music room are also located in the Pastry School in the quad's southwest corner. ===Mulberry Quad=== [[File:UK-2014-Oxford-St Peter's College 03.jpg|thumb|Morris building.]] The Mulberry Quad lies to the northwest of the Linton and provides for the direct access to the JCR. The Morris Building, currently student accommodation, was given by [[William Morris, 1st Viscount Nuffield|Lord Nuffield]] in memory of his mother, Emily Morris.<ref name="VCH3" /> The Matthews block houses the JCR as well as the student-run bar. The Dorfman Centre lies in the northwest corner of the quad. Mulberry Quad also provides access to Bulwarks Lane. === Castle Bailey Quad === The Castle Bailey Quad is St Peter's latest build, housing 54 undergraduate students across Damazer House (named after former Master, [[Mark Damazer]]) and Westfield House (named in honour of the women of Westfield College, London, who relocated to St Peter's during World War II). Other support facilities, including Fellow’s Rooms and an estates workshop and office, can be found on the ground floor.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Castle Bailey Quad |url=https://www.designengine.co.uk/projects/castle-hill-house/ |access-date=2024-11-05 |website=Design Engine Architects |language=en-GB}}</ref> Castle Bailey Quad was funded through almost 900 donors and alumni contributions of close to £14m.
