Magdalen College, Oxford

It is quite a treat to stay in Magdalen:-

To walk through to the fifteenth-century cloister:-

Then through to the New Building, designed by Edward Holdsworth, a Jacobite classicist who would have become a Fellow had he been willing to take the oath of allegiance to the Crown, with help from Gibbs who was paid 20 guineas for his advice:-

And back to the Chapel:-


There can be few more dramatic sequences of buildings so close to a city centre in Europe.
