When the executors took over they found most of the old hospital buildings beyond repair, but they repaired the chapel and incorporated it into the new college.

The most dramatic alteration to the original, Tudor court, however, remains the Victorian amendment of the north range, which involved the demolition of the original medieval chapel and the construction of a new, far larger set of buildings in the 1860s. These included the chapel, designed by Sir <a href="/wiki/George_Gilbert_Scott" title="George Gilbert Scott">George Gilbert Scott</a>, which includes in its interior some pieces saved from the original chapel. It is the third tallest building in Cambridge. The alteration of the north range necessitated the restructuring of the connective sections of First Court; another bay window was added to enlarge the college's hall, and a new building was constructed to the north of Great Gate. Parts of the First Court were used as a prison in 1643 during the <a href="/wiki/English_Civil_War" title="English Civil War">English Civil War</a>.

Designed by <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Rickman" title="Thomas Rickman">Thomas Rickman</a> and <a href="/wiki/Henry_Hutchinson" title="Henry Hutchinson">Henry Hutchinson</a>, New Court was constructed between 1826 and 1831 to accommodate the college's rapidly increasing numbers of students. Despite the college's original intention to get the architects to build another copy of the Second Court, plans were accepted for a fashionably romantic building in the 'Gothic' style. It is also likely that the decision to utilise the neo-Gothic style was made to emulate and compete with the neo-Gothic screen of King's College, designed by William Wilkins and already two years under construction at the time of John's commission. It is a three-sided court of tall Gothic Revival buildings, closed on the fourth side by an open, seven-bayed cross-vaulted cloister and gateway. It is four storeys high, has battlements and is pinnacled. The main portal features a fan vault with a large octagonal pendant, which resembles that of the ceiling found in Bishop Alcock's late 15th-century chapel in Ely Cathedral. The interior of the main building retains many of its original features including ribbed plaster ceilings. Its prominent location (particularly when glimpsed from the river) and flamboyant, tiered design have led it to be nicknamed "The Wedding Cake". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chapel">Chapel</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=St_John%27s_College,_Cambridge&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Chapel"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:LeKeux_-_Cambridge,_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05,_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/LeKeux_-_Cambridge%2C_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05%2C_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg/220px-LeKeux_-_Cambridge%2C_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05%2C_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="327" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/LeKeux_-_Cambridge%2C_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05%2C_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg/330px-LeKeux_-_Cambridge%2C_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05%2C_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d1/LeKeux_-_Cambridge%2C_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05%2C_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg/440px-LeKeux_-_Cambridge%2C_c1840_-_St_John%27s_05%2C_Chapel_-_memorialsofcambr01wriguoft_0214.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2092" data-file-height="3112" /></a><figcaption>Old College Chapel</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:St_John%27s_College_Chapel,_Cambridge,_UK_-_Diliff.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/St_John%27s_College_Chapel%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg/220px-St_John%27s_College_Chapel%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="243" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/St_John%27s_College_Chapel%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg/330px-St_John%27s_College_Chapel%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/St_John%27s_College_Chapel%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg/440px-St_John%27s_College_Chapel%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg 2x" data-file-width="4918" data-file-height="5432" /></a><figcaption>Inside St John's College Chapel</figcaption></figure> <p>The Chapel of St John's College is entered by the northwest corner of First Court.

The <i>ante prandium</i> is read after the fellows have entered, and the <i>post prandium</i> after they have finished dining: </p> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Grace</th> <th>Latin</th> <th>English </th></tr> <tr> <th><i>Ante Prandium</i><br />(Before Dinner) </th> <td><i>Oculi omnium in te sperant, Domine, et tu das illis cibum in tempore, aperis manum tuam, et imples omne animal benedictione.

The rivalry can be traced to <a href="/wiki/Henry_VIII" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a> founding Trinity after having ordered the execution of <a href="/wiki/John_Fisher" title="John Fisher">John Fisher</a>, whose efforts had ensured the foundation of St John's. Over the years, numerous anecdotes and myths have arisen, involving students and fellows of both colleges. The rivalry is often cited as the reason why the older courts of Trinity have no "J" staircases, despite including other letters in alphabetical order (it should be mentioned that a far more likely reason is the absence of the letter "J" in the Latin alphabet). There are also two small muzzle-loading cannons on Trinity's bowling green pointing in the direction of John's, though this orientation may be coincidental. Similarly, the eagle on top of the entrance to St John's New Court is said to have been sculptured so that it shuns even the sight of its neighbouring rival. Generally, however, the colleges maintain a cordial relationship with one other; compatriotism led to the splitting of the atomic nucleus in 1932 by <a href="/wiki/Ernest_Walton" title="Ernest Walton">Ernest Walton</a> (Trinity) and <a href="/wiki/John_Cockcroft" title="John Cockcroft">John Cockcroft</a> (St John's), for which they jointly received the 1951 <a href="/wiki/Nobel_Prize_in_Physics" title="Nobel Prize in Physics">Nobel Prize in Physics</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_Court's_clock_tower"><span id="New_Court.27s_clock_tower"></span>New Court's clock tower</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=St_John%27s_College,_Cambridge&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: New Court's clock tower"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1,_Cambridge,_UK_-_Diliff.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg/220px-St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="140" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg/330px-St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/ce/St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg/440px-St_John%27s_College_New_Court_1%2C_Cambridge%2C_UK_-_Diliff.jpg 2x" data-file-width="6748" data-file-height="4305" /></a><figcaption>New Court and blank clock tower face</figcaption></figure> <p>New Court's central <a href="/wiki/Cupola" title="Cupola">cupola</a> has four blank clock faces. These are subject to various apocryphal explanations. One legend maintains that a statute limiting the number of chiming clocks in Cambridge rendered the addition of a mechanism illegal. No such limitation is known to exist. More likely explanations include Hutchinson's fear that the installation of a clockface would spoil the building's symmetry and that the college's financial situation in the early 19th century made completion impossible. </p><p>Other legends explaining the absence of clockfaces claim that St John's and its neighbour, Trinity were engaged in a race to build the final (or tallest) clocktower in Cambridge. Supposedly, whichever was finished first (or was tallest) would be permitted to house the 'final' chiming clock in Cambridge. Trinity's Tower was finished first (or, in another version of the same story, was made taller overnight by the addition of a wooden cupola), and its clock was allowed to remain. In truth, the completion of the New Court and Trinity's Clock (which is in King Edward's Tower) was separated by nearly two centuries. Trinity's famous double-striking clock was installed in the 17th century by its then-Master, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Bentley" title="Richard Bentley">Richard Bentley</a>, a former student of St John's, who dictated that the clock chime once for Trinity, and once for his alma mater, St John's.<sup id="cite_ref-42" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-42"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>42<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Consumption_of_swan">Consumption of swan</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=St_John%27s_College,_Cambridge&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Consumption of swan"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Supposedly, Fellows of St John's are the only people outside the royal family in the United Kingdom allowed to eat unmarked <a href="/wiki/Mute_swan" title="Mute swan">mute swans</a>.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dispute#Disputed_statement" title="Wikipedia:Accuracy dispute"><span title="The material near this tag is possibly inaccurate or nonfactual.
