Oxford

Oxford is a city that we were able to visit for a short time when the team was playing Oxfordshire. The car was parked in Magdalene Street, near Broad Street and Broad Street was the main area that we were able to explore.

Bicycles are a major means of transport in this university city.

There is a wide variety of architecture to be seen on Broad Street.

The Sheldonian Theatre is next to the Museum for History of Science. Commencement of the building the theatre began in 1664. It was designed by Christopher Wren.

The Bodleian Library is one of the oldest libraries in Europe and is part of Oxford University. A number of buildings form this library including a building specifically for undergrads.

There are a number of university colleges in Broad Street, all with interesting architecture.

Wherever you look there are interesting archaeological features and skylines.

A stone set in the wall of Balliol College provides information about the three martyrs burned to death in the ditch outside the city walls in 1556.

The Martyrs' Memorial is located near the corner of Magdalene and Broad streets.
