The story

Story · Wadham College

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the corner of Broad Street and Parks Road, outside Wadham College, one of the largest colleges of the University of Oxford. Most of what you see went up in a single building campaign between 1610 and 1613. The architect, William Arnold from the West Country, worked in the Jacobean style: traditional Oxford Gothic, dressed up with classical details and an almost obsessive love of symmetry.
