  • Guest Information
    GUEST INFORMATION WE HOPE YOU ENJOY YOUR STAY St Hugh’s College • St Margaret’s Road • Oxford • OX2 6LE A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST HUGH’S COLLEGE Compared to many Oxford Colleges, St Hugh’s is young, having been founded as St Hugh’s Hall in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth, the great niece of the poet, who was also Principal of Lady Margaret Hall. A champion of women’s education, her foundation of St Hugh’s enabled poorer women to gain an Oxford education, beginning modestly with four students in a house in Norham Road. Elizabeth Wordsworth’s father was Bishop of Lincoln and that inspired her to adopt the emblem and coat of arms of St Hugh of Avalon who had been Bishop of Lincoln 1186–1200. His emblem was the Swan of Stowe, said to be his companion who guarded him as he slept. By the time WWI broke out, St Hugh’s Hall was ready for larger premises and a site was purchased, the existing house demolished, and the current Main Building constructed. Since then, St Hugh’s has expanded, by both erecting new buildings and by purchasing the Victorian houses that form its perimeter. New buildings have included the Library (1937), Kenyon Building (1965), Wolfson Building (1967), Rachel Trickett Building (1991), Maplethorpe Building (1999) and, most recently, the Dickson Poon China Centre (2014). St Hugh’s Hall was incorporated as a College in 1910 and, in 1920, finally became part of the University, along with the other women’s Colleges, when the BA was opened to women.

At a time when Oxford needed to expand out of its historic core centred around the castle, the medieval streets and the major colleges, these two factors enabled the area to be laid out as a planned suburb as lands associated with medieval manors were made available. This gives the whole area homogeneity as a residential suburb.

  • Brookes Goes Walking : a Guide to the Route
    Brookes Goes Walking : A Guide to the Route Starting from Brookes Students' Union: Follow the path to the bridge over the main road. This bridge was built in 1877 to link the two parts of the large Morrell estate on each side of the road below. The road was originally the Stokenchurch Turnpike constructed in 1775. Don't cross the bridge, instead walk down the road and turn right into Headington Park. The park was originally part of the ornamental garden belonging to the Hall where the Morrells lived. Turn left out of the park and cross the road with care. Take the path opposite down to the river. The large new stone building is the new Oxford University Centre for Islamic Studies. The building on the right by the River Cherwell was once the King’s Mill. It dates from the Middle Ages but stopped working in 1832. Turn right along the path. This area is called Mesopotamia, from the Greek for “between two rivers”. The original two rivers were the Euphrates and the Tigris so this Oxford version is on a slightly smaller scale! Along this stretch you will see many pollarded willows, trees which have been cut at about head height. The regrowth was used by local people for poles for building and fencing. Pollarding also prevents the trees from splitting when they get top heavy. On a map of 1887 a ferry was shown to operate here. The fields on both sides are often quite wet. Several fields you will see along the route contain rushes and sedges showing the marshy ground.

    Agenda Item 8 West Area Planning Committee 10th December 2013 Application Number: 13/02640/FUL Decision Due by: 12th December 2013 Proposal: Demolition of existing side extension and erection of part two storey, part five storey, side and rear extension, plus formation of basement. Erection of brick wall and iron railings to front boundary. (Amended Plans) Site Address: 28 Norham Road, Appendix 1 . Ward: North Agent: Mr Douglas Riach Applicant: Mr Kieron Roberts Application Called in – by Councillors – Upton, Fry, Van Nooijen and Tanner due to concerns regarding the size of the proposed extensions, Recommendation: APPLICATION BE APPROVED For the following reasons: 1 The proposed extensions are considered to be of a form, scale and appearance that, on balance, preserve the special character and appearance of the North Oxford Victorian Suburb Conservation Area without causing significant harm to the amenity enjoyed by occupiers of neighbouring properties. Consequently the proposals accord with policies CP1, CP8, CP9, CP10, and HE7 of the Oxford Local Plan 2001-2016, policy CS18 of the Oxford Core Strategy 2026 as well as policies HP9 and HP14 of the Sites and Housing Plan Submission document. 2 Officers have considered carefully all objections to these proposals. Officers have come to the view, for the detailed reasons set out in the officers report, that the objections do not amount, individually or cumulatively, to a reason for refusal and that all the issues that have been raised have been adequately addressed and the relevant bodies consulted. 3 The Council considers that the proposal accords with the policies of the development plan as summarised below.
