Explore Teddy Hall
History of the Hall
St Edmund Hall has a long history, probably dating back to the twelfth century. The first known written reference to it was recorded in 1317. It remained a hall, housing and educating undergraduates, until 1957, when it became a fully-incorporated college.
Library and Archive
The College’s main library is housed in the beautiful converted Norman church of St Peter-in-the-East. We also have a smaller Old Library, built in the seventeenth century.
Chapel
Services are held during term time, usually at 5:30pm on a Sunday, and all are welcome. The Chapel is also home to the St Edmund Hall Choir, a non-auditioning, friendly group who sing at services and on other occasions as well as touring overseas.

Our annual photo competition is open to all members of Teddy Hall, including students, alumni and staff, and has a closing date in May each year.
