This is a throwback post to my trip in Oxford in 2016 and photos posted go back to then.

Sited to the south of the Old Bodleian, north of the Church of St Mary the Virgin, and between Brasenose College to the west and All Souls College to the east in the University of Oxford is Radcliffe Camera.

Circular in design, positioned in the heart of Oxford, and separated from other buildings; makes Radcliffe Camera a focal point of the University of Oxford. It was designed by James Gibbs in neo-classical style and built in 1737–49 to house the Radcliffe Science Library.

To the south of Radcliffe Camera is the University Church of St Mary the Virgin. St Mary’s possesses an eccentric baroque porch, designed by Nicholas Stone, facing High Street, and a spire which is claimed by some church historians to be one of the most beautiful in England.

Then to the east of Radcliffe Camera is All Souls College. It is a constituent college of the University of Oxford in England.
