Wycliffe Hall is a small, friendly theological college and a permanent private hall of the University of Oxford. Founded in 1877, it specializes in theology, philosophy, and religion with a focus on training evangelical clergy and lay ministers in the Church of England and other Anglican and non-Anglican churches. The hall occupies historic buildings originally from the Norham Manor Estate, including an architecturally noted chapel and a dining room now used as a lecture room.

Interesting facts...

Despite its gentile appearance and theological background, it does not shy away from conflict.

During the First World War, Wycliffe Hall housed refugees from Serbia and trainees from the Royal Flying Corps, who even built a practice aeroplane in the dining hall. This is an unexpected use for a theological college’s space during wartime.

The hall organised several pilgrimages to Jerusalem, where students occasionally found themselves in real danger; one student was wounded by a gunshot during riots in 1929 when the students were also commissioned as peacekeepers.
