Bartlemas Chapel (Oxford)

United Kingdom / England / Oxford

St Bartholomew's Chapel, or Bartlemas Chapel, is a small, early 14th century chapel, built as part of a leper hospital in Oxford, England. Founded in the early 12th century by Henry I, for twelve sick persons and a chaplain, it was granted to Oriel College by Edward III in 1328. During the English Civil War, the chapel and the main range of the hospital were damaged.

A Book of Common Prayer evensong is held on the last Sunday of each month, except in December, and throughout the summer, Morning Liturgy (combined Morning Prayer and Eucharist) is held each Wednesday.
