It is one of only two "recognised colleges" of the university, the other being St Chad's. This means that it is financially and constitutionally independent of the university and has a greater degree of administrative independence than the other, "maintained", colleges. However, in order to maintain its status as a recognised college, the university council must approve the appointment of its principal and be notified of changes to its constitution.〔http://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/university.calendar/volumei/statute.colleges_and_societies.pdf〕 St John's is Durham's second smallest college and comprises John's Hall for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying any university course and Cranmer Hall (named after Thomas Cranmer and with its own master or Warden), an Anglican theological college in the open evangelical tradition. The Methodist Wesley Study Centre, named after John Wesley, is also based within Cranmer Hall despite not technically being part of the college. The college's chapel choir has flourished in recent years due to the college's commitment to supporting choral scholarships. ==Buildings== The college is formed from a number of Georgian houses on the Bailey between Durham Cathedral and the River Wear. The main house is Haughton House, named after Haughton Castle, the seat of the family of William Donaldson Cruddas who were early benefactors of the college and other Christian churches and charities in the north east of England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/34379768/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.dur.ac.uk/resources/johns/media/CR10web.pdf )〕 The houses which make up Cranmer Hall were once owned by the Bowes-Lyon family (the late Queen Elizabeth's family). The majority of the college buildings are grade II listed, with parts of 3 and 4 South Bailey grade II * listed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/results.aspx?Where=South%20Bailey )〕 Before coming into the possession of St John's, Linton House, no 1 South Bailey, was the main property of St. Chad's College. It is said to have much earlier origins, with the frontage seen today added to an existing timber framed building after the Restoration of the Monarchy. No 2 South Bailey has distinctive circular "blind" windows which were revealed during a re-rendering in the 1980s. This enabled Martin Roberts, then Durham City's conservation officer, to date the building precisely to the late 17th century. The illogically interconnected nature of many of the college buildings regularly results in visitors becoming lost. The similarly unusual nature of college stairways, one of which disappears into a solid wall, adds an element of Escher to the architecture. The college chapel, dedicated to St Mary and known as St Mary the Less, is of Norman origin and was rebuilt in the 1840s and re-ordered at the turn of the 21st century. It became the college chapel in 1919, before which it had been the parish church of the South Bailey. It is still a chapel of ease in the Parish of St Oswald. The chapel is also used by the local Greek Orthodox congregation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St John's College, Durham」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
