Welcome to the Magdalen Supper Quiz !

This event is to raise money for our wonderful new organ . Our 10.00am Sung Eucharist each Sunday incorporates traditional liturgy, hymns and always includes an organ voluntary before and after each service.

Dating back to Norman times, our Chapel was built in the late 12th century and served an adjoining leper hospital. Both chapel and hospital were rebuilt by Bath Abbey’s Prior John Cantlow in around 1495 and with the decline of leprosy, the hospital’s role developed into the care of the mentally ill.

The origins of the Chapel are obscure and have been the subject of much scholarly conjecture. The earliest hard facts are that sometime between 1090 and 1100 a deed of gift was made by Walter Hosat, granting the Chapel of “the Blessed Mary Magdalene at Holeweye” to the Abbey Church of St Peter, Bath (now Bath Abbey); and that around the end of the twelfth century a small hospital for lepers was founded close to the Chapel and also consigned to the care of the Abbey’s monks.

Restored and extended in the 19th century, Magdalen Chapel passed to the care of the Trustees of Bath Municipal Charities in 1894 and then to St John’s Hospital. In 2012, the Magdalen Chapel Foundation and St John’s Hospital amalgamated as charities, with St John’s Hospital being renamed St John’s Foundation in 2016.

Join us for a fun evening of trivia, food, and laughter at Saint Mark's Road. Test your knowledge on a variety of topics while enjoying a delicious supper with friends and family. This in-person event promises to be a night to remember. Gather your team, brush up on your facts, and get ready for an exciting quiz night! See you there!
