The existing Chapel is the third on the site. The first was under construction in 1328, the second Chapel was built in about 1525, and was pulled down in 1856. William Butterfield was the architect for the present building (1857). His design has been much attacked, and there was a serious offer to pay for demolition and reconstruction in 1912 which the College rejected as a waste of money. Inside, most of Butterfield’s furnishings and decorations have been replaced, and the most interesting features are either recent or survivals from the Chapel he demolished.
Balliol has an non-audition choir of men & women.
