History

Wycliffe Hall was founded in 1877 as a place to train evangelical clergy in the Church of England, and has since then expanded to take any student of theology. It started in the main part of the current building (54 Banbury Road), expanding to 52 Banbury Road, which was originally a convent, in 1883. The Chapel was added to connect the two houses in 1896 and is noted for its architecture and interior panelling. Other rooms have been added over time, including a dining room (now lecture room) in the style of a chapel in 1910.

Food & beverage

Breakfast is served in the hall and is included in the B&B overnight rate (unless specifically mentioned otherwise). A Continental breakfast is served each morning, including a selection of cereals, toast, yoghurt, cold meat, cheese, pastries, fruit juice and hot drinks. Please advise at the time of booking if you have any special dietary requirements.

During the term, breakfast is served at:

7:15 - 8:45am Monday to Friday

In vacations, breakfast is served at:

A clean and pleasant student type room. Shared bathroom but good value for money. An excellent freshly cooked breakfast. I would certainly recommend staying at Wycliffe Hall.

Great stay, perfect location for exploring. Since we were out all the time a great place for a base. Helpful staff and great location. Clean and comfortable.

A marvellous place with a traditional monastic ambiance. Breakfast was excellent. A great refuge from the fray. Spotlessly clean & a welcome car park.
