On a visit to Oxford recently, I stayed at Wycliffe Hall as a Bed and Breakfast guest. Wycliffe Hall is on the Banbury Road in North Oxford. It offers theological training to women and men who wish to become ordained or lay ministers in the Church of England. The hall was established in 1877, on the current site, and is named for John Wycliffe, bible translator and master of Balliol College in the 14th century.
I sketched the chapel which was added in 1896, designed by architect George Wallace.
There are amazing trees in this part of Oxford. The houses are large, but the trees are larger. I had my breakfast outdoors in the garden at Wycliffe Hall, looking at a gigantic London Plane. The view from my bedroom was filled with beech tree.
I sketched the chapel in the evening and finished the sketch the next morning.
For a sketch of the west side of the Hall, see this post.

Thank you @penwithlit! It was an interesting visit. I recommend Wycliffe Hall as accommodation, the room was adequate, simple and extremely quiet.
And breakfast in the garden was magical.
