=== Chapel === [[File:Wadham College Chapel, Oxford - Diliff.jpg|right|thumb|Chapel]] Although a ceremonial door opens directly into Front Quad, the chapel is usually reached through the door in staircase 3. The screen, similar to that in the hall, was carved by John Bolton. Originally Jacobean woodwork ran right round the chapel. The present stone [[reredos]] was inserted in the east end in 1834. The elegant young man reclining on his monument is Sir John Portman, baronet, who died in 1624 as a nineteen-year-old undergraduate. Another monument is in the form of a pile of books; it commemorates Thomas Harris, one of the fellows of the college appointed at the foundation. The Chapel organ dates from 1862 and 1886.<ref>[https://www.npor.org.uk/NPORView.html?RI=N11045][[National Pipe Organ Register]]<span>. Accessed 8 April 2022</span></ref> It is one of the few instruments by [[Henry Willis]], the doyen of [[Victorian era|Victorian]] English organ builders, to survive without substantial modification of its tonal design.{{citation needed|date=March 2021}} ==== Windows ==== The East Window, which depicts several scenes from the [[Old Testament|Old]] and [[New Testament]]s, was created by [[Abraham and Bernard van Linge|Bernard van Linge]] in 1622.{{Sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1975|p=216}} The windows on the north and south sides of the chapel depict various Old Testament prophets, such as [[Jonah]], and apostles, such as [[St Andrew]]. They originate from different periods. One window is dated 1616, and attributed to Robert Rutland, a local craftsman.{{Sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1975|p=216}} The windows of the antechapel, which also show saintly figures, are Victorian. They were designed by John Bridges, and created by David Evans in 1838.{{Sfn|Sherwood|Pevsner|1975|p=216}}
