Chichele College was founded c.1425, as a Chantry College for secular canons, by Henry Chichele, Higham Ferrers' most famous son.
The aim of the project is to ensure that many more people are able to enjoy the charms of the Chichele College grounds, with the development of a medieval-style cloister garth (garden) providing easy access for both wheelchairs and pushchairs.
