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.

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. Outside the town wall, there was less pressure on space and the street is first recorded as Horsemonger Street in c.1230 because its width had encouraged the sale of horses. Development began on the north side of the street and the curving south side echoes the shape of the ditch outside the town wall, which, like the land inside it, was not built upon until c.

  • Oxford Walk & Talk
    Oxford Walk & Talk Duration: “Gargoyles and approx Grimaces” 50 mins Updated by Ros Weatherall & Liz Storrar, November 2012 A walk in which you will see most with your nose in the air. Oxford has many gargoyles and grotesques. Gargoyles were originally created to throw water away from buildings (and still do). The word comes from the old French ‘gargouille’ – meaning throat. Grotesques are carved heads, usually having no function, but often they are images of notable people. Grotesques can be mistaken for gargoyles, especially since they are at times placed where they might be thought to be performing a gargoyle’s function. This walk will show you high-up features that are worth seeing, even though they might be neither a gargoyle nor a grotesque. The walk 1. From Bonn Square turn left and walk along Queen Street. Note the carvings on the 1888 building opposite Marks & Spencer. Between ‘Miss Selfridge’ and ‘Monsoon’ is what must once have been the entrance to this fine building. Here, and at the top, are the crests of the University and the City. 2. Continue to the end of Queen Street. On your left see the gargoyles on the 13th Century St Martin’s church tower. Above the former church gateway, now the entrance to the Carfax Café, St Martin is depicted giving his cloak to a beggar. The miniature men on Carfax clock become animated when the clock strikes. There are fine weathervanes to be seen – above Lloyds Bank a ship; above the Town Hall (down St Aldates to your right) an ox.
