History

In the 20th century, Trinity Hall started to acquire some buildings away from the Central Site, and Wychfield House along with its grounds were purchased in 1948. The house initially became a residence for the retired Master, Professor Dean, and a home for 10 undergraduates. Gradually, various outbuildings were converted and new buildings were developed to accommodate more students. In the early 2000s, the sports pavilion was extended and refurbished, creating 2 competition-standard squash courts, a fitness room and changing rooms. New accommodation at Wychfield opened in 2007, and now forms comfortable accommodation for students surrounded by landscaped gardens. In 2023, a new trim trail was added to create another option for outdoor exercise.

Grounds & Gardens

Trinity Hall’s Wychfield site is home to courtyard gardens, swathes of pristine lawns and tucked-away seating areas ideal for soaking it all up. The Sunken Garden is a particular favourite, surrounded by exquisite hedges that give it a ‘secret garden’ feeling. Wychfield is enveloped by clusters of mature trees too, creating perfect woodland walking paths.
