"A Place of Passage"

Marking the 410th anniversary this year of the dedication of Wadham College and the consecration of Wadham Chapel, current and historic students, Chaplains, Fellows, and friends joined together to ponder our inheritance and vocation as members of the Wadham community.

The first week of term saw a Dedication Festival of special events, including former Archbishop of Canterbury and Wadham alumnus (DPhil Theology, 1972), The Right Revd Rowan Williams speaking at evensong. His address is available as a podcast above and on all major podcast platforms.

The Chapel's birthday occasioned a few social gatherings, including a birthday tea in the ante chapel. Soak up some of the event's good vibes through the footage below!

The Dedicated Festival also saw the launch of a photo exhibition in the ante Chapel, which has remained up throughout term. It is also available as a virtual exhibition below and with the information in text format at the link.

The Dedication Festival also saw a pop-up exhibition of rarely-seen documents, books, and artefacts illustrative of the history of Wadham Chapel.
