St Stephen’s House

St Stephen’s House was founded in 1876 by members of the Tractarian movement and has stood, ever since, in the catholic tradition of the Church of England. It is an Anglican theological college offering formation and education for ordained and lay ministry.

We are a small friendly college located in the heart of East Oxford. A stone’s throw from the Cowley and Iffley Roads, we are unique in being able to offer exclusivity to clients looking for a private and personal venue for their event. With excellent travel links, and a variety of meeting rooms, St Stephen’s House has a number of unique and special spaces to choose from, including a large, neo-Gothic church and cloister designed by the renowned Victorian architect, George Frederick Bodley, we provide a bespoke feel to every event.

All our rooms are comfortably and individually furnished with a mix of modern technology and antique furniture.

Overnight stays are available for up to 62 visitors. We have a variety of bedroom types ranging from small flats and ensuites to standard and twin single rooms. All our standard rooms have hand basins. Shared bath and shower rooms are conveniently close to standard rooms.

St Stephen’s House provides excellent formal and informal dining options, with meals taking place within our large and comfortable dining room or delivered to your seminar room.

The visitors can enjoy access to our charming Cloister Garden, which is available for drinks receptions, barbeques or simply relaxing between seminars.

There is step-free access to certain ground-floor meeting rooms and our dining hall. Regrettably, at present, the college is unable to offer full disabled access. Please get in touch for more information.
