Story · The Queen's College

You're standing on the High Street, in front of The Queen's College, one of the colleges of the University of Oxford. Take a look at that long, stately wall with the grand gateway in the middle. On top there's a little cupola, and inside it stands a statue of a queen. That's Caroline of Ansbach, by the sculptor Henry Cheere. See if you can spot the words 'Carolina Regina, 12 November 1733'. That date marks the laying of the foundation stone of this very wall.
