Directions

From the M40 J8a take the A40 west towards Oxford for 5 miles. At the roundabout continue straight to take the London Rd/A420 for a further 2.5 miles. At the roundabout, take the 4th exit (past the pillared monument in the middle of the road) onto The Plain/A420.

Having past the Botanic Gardens, carry straight on at the traffic lights and look for a left turn onto Merton Street and follow this road around until you reach the Chapel building on the left hand side.

"The Chapel is located through Mob Quad and can be reached by passing through Front Quad from under an archway then taking a straight path through the right-hand edge of Mob Quad and passing out the other side.The entrance to the Chapel is on the right.  The flag-stones have been remodelled to allow level access although some users might find it a bit steep.

There is a small wooden lobby area inside the Chapel. Pass through these doors and you are in the Chapel space.  There is a level change to head into the main vestibule of the Chapel which has ramp access.  There is quite a difference in height, so some users may want assistance."
