Walnut Tree Court Walnut Tree Court
This building was erected 1616-18 by Gilbert Wigge and Henry Mann, at a cost to the College of £886 9s. Only the ground floor of the original construction remains: after a fire in 1777, it was rebuilt from the first floor upwards 1778-82. The battlements were added in 1823. (Similar battlements were added to Old Court as well, but they were removed again 1910-25).
There are two staircases (H and G), each with six sets. These are taken usually by third year undergraduates and Fellows.
