Jesus College sits slightly apart from the cluster of central colleges, accessed through a long walled path called the "Chimney" from Jesus Lane. The approach makes the college feel more secluded than it is — once inside, the grounds are spacious, with extensive playing fields and a quiet character. The chapel, incorporating the remains of a 12th-century nunnery, is worth visiting for its extraordinary Pre-Raphaelite stained glass by Burne-Jones and Morris.
Notable alumni include Coleridge, Sterne, and more recently Nick Clegg. The college has strong rowing traditions and well-maintained gardens. Usually open to visitors; admission may be charged during term.
