Ridley Hall, Cambridge

Mostly hidden behind a street wall Ridley Hall chapel was closed to visitors when I visited, so a re-run is called for in October.

Of no special architectural interest. The Chapel has recently (1949  received a new reredos by Professor A. E. Richardson.

RIDLEY HALL. Standing on the west bank of the river, Ridley Hall was founded in 1879 as an Anglican hostel for University graduates to study theology. Its buildings are of brick and stone, with battlements and gables and a gateway-tower. The simple chapel has a bell turret with a lantern, and among the figures in its windows are Ridley, Cranmer, Tyndale, Wycliffe, Luther, Hooker, and George Herbert.
