Heritage Open Day: Our beautiful 12th century chapel will be open for visitors to take their time and explore the chapel interior and its garden. Self-guide tour material will be available. St Mary the Less has been known by a number of names over the years:
Little St Mary, Mary Parva, Little Church in the Bailey.
The chapel has a vast history as it was originally built as a garrison chapel for those who guarded the city walls until its evolution into what it is today, St John's beloved chapel used for all types of events enjoyed by students, staff and the public alike.
