Garbett) and created a North Quad beyond New College Lane (1903–31, T.G.

  • OXFORD Devised by Clemence Schultze, D.Phil., and Thomas Sopko
    A BARBARA PYM WALK THROUGH OXFORD Devised by Clemence Schultze, D.Phil., and Thomas Sopko And that sweet city with her dreaming spires She needs not June for beauty’s heightening, Lovely all times she lies, lovely to-night! – Matthew Arnold Through a rift in the trees he caught his first real glimpse of Oxford – in that ineffectual moonlight an underwater city, its towers and spires standing ghostly, like the memo- rials of lost Atlantis, fathoms deep. – Edmund Crispin [1] Numbers in square brackets correspond to the numbers on the map. THE STARTING POINT IS THE ENTRANCE OF ST HILDA’S COLLEGE ON COWLEY PLACE [1] St Hilda’s is the college of novelists D. K. Broster and Catherine Heath, poets Jenny Joseph and Wendy Cope, and detective fiction writer Val McDermid. It was founded in 1893 by Dorothea Beale – educational reformer, suffragist, and Principal of the Cheltenham Ladies’ College – and it remained an all-women’s col- lege until 2008, making it the last single-sex college in the University of Oxford. When Barbara was a student here in the 1930s the college buildings comprised Hall and South Buildings (the former described below) and a ‘temporary’ wooden Chapel (1925-1969) located where Garden Building now stands. South Building was originally a family house named Cowley Grange, built in the 1870s by Christ Church chemistry tutor Augustus Vernon Harcourt. From 1902-1920 it was a women's teacher training college called Cherwell Hall; St Hilda’s obtained the leasehold in 1920 and purchased the building outright in 1949. During the 1950s the former Milham Ford School building, located between Hall and South, was purchased, the kitchens and dining hall were expanded, and the Prin- cipal’s House and a Porters’ Lodge constructed.

  • INDIAN INSTITUTE INTRODUCTION in 1875 Sir Monier Monier Williams
    INDIAN INSTITUTE INTRODUCTION In 1875 Sir Monier Monier Williams, Boden Professor of Sanskrit, launched a public appeal for money, artefacts and books in order to establish the Indian Institute in Oxford. Monier Williams proposed that the Institute should form ‘a centre of union, intercourse, inquiry and instruction for all engaged in Indian Studies’. It was to contain lecture and reading rooms, a library and a museum. The teachers were to be paid by the University or by separate endowments. In the future he hoped that ‘it might combine appliances for the promotion of Semitic studies... so as to become a nucleus of development for a complete Oriental School at Oxford’. (Proposal for founding of an Indian Institute in Oxford, 1875, Bodleian ref GA Oxon c.33(112)) On behalf of the University, Monier Williams purchased the piece of land situated at the junction of Catte Street and Holywell Street from Merton College in three lots in 1882, 1893 and 1894. One of the conditions set out in the Agreement for the sale and purchase of the sites was that the site be ‘appropriated and set apart for the erection of an Indian Institute and no other purpose’ (NW 16/5a, 6, 9 & 13). Although Monier Williams set the project in motion by his own initiative, the University supported his action. He raised £26,000 through public subscription and this money formed the capital for the Indian Institute Endowment Fund. He also secured an annual grant from both the India Office and the Burma Office. However, this was not sufficient to allow the Institute to function independently.

    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 2 On foot from Broad Street by Malcolm Graham © Oxford Preservation Trust, 2014 This is a fully referenced text of the book, illustrated by Edith Gollnast with cartography by Alun Jones, which was first published in 2014. Also included are a further reading list and a list of common abbreviations used in the footnotes. The published book is available from Oxford Preservation Trust, 10 Turn Again Lane, Oxford, OX1 1QL – tel 01865 242918 Contents: Broad Street to Ship Street 1 – 8 Cornmarket Street 8 – 14 Carfax to the Covered Market 14 – 20 Turl Street to St Mary’s Passage 20 – 25 Radcliffe Square and Bodleian Library 25 – 29 Catte Street to Broad Street 29 - 35 Abbreviations 36 Further Reading 36-37 Chapter 1 – Broad Street to Ship Street The walk begins at the western end of Broad Street, outside the Fisher Buildings of Balliol College (1767, Henry Keene; refaced 1870).1 ‘The Broad’ enjoyably combines grand College and University buildings with humbler shops and houses, reflecting the mix of Town and Gown elements that has produced some of the loveliest townscapes in central Oxford. While you savour the views, it is worth considering how Broad Street came into being. Archaeological evidence suggests that the street was part of the suburban expansion of Oxford in the 12th century.
