Oxford

Went for a day trip to Oxford to see the university.

One of the gleaming spires of Oxford.


This was the site of a fort.











Sheldonian Theatre. Would have looked as it is normally open to the public but some sort of presentation was happening.


A bronze statue on the top of the Blackwells books building. It currently has a set of headphones as a result of student pranks.


For any fans of Inspector Morse this is Thames Valley constabulary building which is used in the series (It really is the police station) and apparently there is a sign in the window that was Morse's office. Couldn't see it.


Went to see Christchurch college. This is the meadow and the exterior of the college.

The meadow extends from the college to the Thames.




It is 8.50 pounds to visit the College. You have to go in a side entrance. The main entrance is guarded by porters who still wear Bowler Hats (Even the women) as part of there uniform.





The interior view of the quad at christchurch.


The Cathedral at Christchurch college is beautiful.











Another shot of the Sheldonian Theatre.


Got the train back to London. It was rather overcrowded.
