Jesus is located on [[Turl Street, Oxford|Turl Street]] in the centre of [[Oxford]], on a comparatively small site by the standards of many Oxford colleges, and is one of the three Turl Street colleges along with [[Lincoln College, Oxford|Lincoln College]] and [[Exeter College, Oxford|Exeter College]]. Much of what are considered the original buildings date from the [[17th century]], although parts date back to the college's foundation. Most of these earlier buildings have undergone some degree of restoration, although this is not generally obvious, and parts of the rear of the college are much more modern.

The main college buildings include the chapel (in the First [[Quadrangle]]) which was built in the early seventeeth century in Jacobean-Gothic style under Sir Eubule Thelwall (Principal 1621-30), and extended at the east end in 1636. It has a fine barrel-vaulted roof, a late seventeenth-century ante-chapel screen and an early seventeenth-century pulpit. The chancel arch was widened in 1864 by [[George Edmund Street]], and also features a Victorian stained-glass window and stone altarpiece. The stone flooring and much of the woodwork also date from Street's alterations. Also worth seeing is the large copy of [[Guido Reni]]'s ''St Michael subduing the Devil'' which hangs in the chancel. This was given to the college by Thomas James Bulkeley, 7th Viscount Bulkeley (a student in 1769), who acquired it in Rome during his [[Grand Tour]].
