St Benet’s Hall (known colloquially as Benet’s) is a Permanent Private Hall (PPH) of the University of Oxford. Established in 1897 by Ampleforth Abbey it is a Benedictine foundation whose principal historic function was to allow its monks to study for secular degrees as undergraduates within the University. Today most members of the Hall are not monks but lay undergraduates. The Hall which is still owned by Ampleforth Abbey has a Benedictine and Roman Catholic ethos.
