The Master's Lodge

Around Trinity | << Previous Stop | Next Stop >> | College Plan

The Master's Lodge is located opposite the Great Gate. Originally built in Elizabethan times, it was substantially altered and enlarged during Nevile's time as Master, then by Bentley (who built a notoriously expensive staircase), then re-altered by William Whewell (Master 1841-1866) and extended further under Montagu Butler (Master 1886-1918).

The Lodge (which regrettably is not open to the public) features a Tudor drawing room, with a gold embossed ceiling and an ornamented fireplace showing the arms of Queen Elizabeth.
