Nick at All Souls College, Oxford University, UK
Last week I attended the Hunger Draws the Map workshop in All Souls College at Oxford University. Oxford was founded in the 10th(!) century and in recent ratings was named the top university in the world.

All Souls is free to visit and the college is generally open to the public at 2 p.m. on weekdays. The Clock was designed by Christopher Wren.

Want to know more about Oxford's colleges?
Graduate students at Oxford are a member of a department, which provides your teaching and supervision, and also a member of a college. This is an almost unique aspect of studying at Oxford.
We have 38 colleges and 6 Permanent Private Halls and these are all different – in age, size, traditional vs modern, different facilities, and some are graduate-only.

How to choose an Oxford college
Hey everyone :) As a request from Amira on Twitter, in this video I'll go over what options you have when choosing a college, some things to consider, and something not to consider, when choosing an Oxford college. I think this video will be helpful for other collegiate universities as well, but I'll be using Oxford specific examples. I hope it's useful! As always, if you have any concerns, questions or requests for videos, please comment below or find me on Twitter. I'm going back to Oxford tomorrow so my next videos will be from Oxford!! - Molly

New College, Oxford
New College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. The full name of the college is The Warden and Scholars of St Mary's College of Winchester in Oxford. The College's official name, College of St Mary, is the same as that of the older Oriel College; hence, it has been referred to as the New College of St Mary and is now almost always called New College. New College was founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham.
The College currently ranks at the top of the Norrington Table, a table assessing the relative performance of Oxford's undergraduates by their performance in final examinations. Having been ranked third in the 2011-12 tables, maintaining its place from 2010 to 2011, New College jumped to 1st after the 2012-13 academic year. The College stands along Holywell Street and New College Lane (known for Oxford's Bridge of Sighs), next to All Souls College, Harris Manchester College, Hertford College, The Queen's College and St Edmund Hall.

England 2019 Episode 30: Oxford's Other Colleges
The Divinity School is one of the oldest parts of the university. Dating to 1426, it has arguably the finest interior in Oxford, as was appropriate given that theology was considered the most important of all subjects at the time. Its crowning glory is the vaulted ceiling from 1478. It was here that Latimer, Ridley and Cranmer were cross-examined by the Papal Commissioner in 1554 before being condemned as heretics.
Around 1440, a substantial collection of manuscripts was donated to the university so a second story was built atop the Divinity School. The library, with its magnificent beamed ceiling, was first opened in 1488. Sadly, it fell into disrepair within a century, owing in part to the depredations of the dissolution, but also because of the emergence of the printing press which rendered manuscripts redundant. Thomas Bodley, a student at Magdalen College, became aware of this appalling state of affairs and used his network of contacts to restore the library and reinstate a collection of two thousand books in 1602. The library now bears his name: the Bodleian. Visitors can see a number of the original leather-bound 17th c. books, some turned spine inwards so that chaining them to the shelves (a common practice) would cause less damage. Photography is not permitted in the library so the images you see are stock photos, but they're an accurate representation of what we saw during our visit.
The makers of the Harry Potter films made extensive use of Oxford for numerous scenes, with the Divinity School and the Bodleian becoming the Sanatorium and the Library at Hogwarts.
Soon Oxford's book collection outgrew the space, so the Old Schools Quadrangle was built in 1613, with the Divinity School forming its west side. This magnificent piece of Jacobean-Gothic architecture became the new home of the various schools of the university with the additional library space above. The Latin names of each school can be seen above the doors: logic, moral philosophy, music, etc. At the east end of the quad is the splendid Tower of the Five Orders, so named because it helps instruct students in the five styles of classical architecture: Doric, Tuscan, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite. In a niche on the fourth story is a statue of James I, the reigning monarch when the quad was built.
To the south of the Old Schools Quadrangle is the impressive circular Radcliffe Camera. Completed in 1749 and absorbed as part of the Bodleian Library in 1860, it is one of the most familiar symbols of Oxford.
Just to the east of Radcliffe Camera, All Souls College was founded in 1438. The school's North Quadrangle is dominated by distinctive twin towers, while on the opposite side of the quad, we can see Radcliffe Camera looming in the background. The sundial, designed by Christopher Wren in 1658, graces the front of the college's library. The school’s 15th c. chapel, with its original hammerbeam roof, has a magnificent reredos behind the main altar.
Bordering Radcliffe Camera to the west is Brasenose College, founded in 1509. But it is the facade facing High Street that we found the most interesting, with an entertaining array of carved figures.
Lincoln College, dating to 1427, is where John and Charles Wesley founded the Holy Club from which Methodism sprang.
The alumni of Pembroke College include George Whitfield, the famous 18th c. Methodist evangelist in America. None less than J. R. R. Tolkien was Professor of Anglo-Saxon here.
Founded in 1264, Merton College is one of the oldest in Oxford. Wycliffe is a graduate, and Tolkien moved to Merton as its Professor of English Language and Literature after his time at Pembroke.
The Fellows of Oriel College include Sir Walter Raleigh and Joseph Butler, the author of the Analogy of Religion, one of my favorite works of classic Christian philosophy, a 1788 edition of which is in my library.
The most impressive part of Queen's College is its magnificent cupola-topped Baroque entrance.
The Church of St Peter in the East with its 11th c. tower is one of the oldest in Oxford. Dating from Saxon times, it now serves as the library of St Edmund Hall. Founded in the 1190s, this tiny school is the only surviving example of the medieval halls that pre-dated the foundation of the actual colleges, making it Oxford’s oldest surviving educational establishment.
The series of still photos at the end of the video begins with pictures of three books that we saw at the Weston Library, a large modern annex of the Bodleian which includes a gallery of historically important volumes. The first book pictured, from 1509, is the only book ever illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci. The author was well aware of the challenges of rendering complex three dimensional shapes, so he turned to his friend Leonardo for help, including this icosidodecahedron, a shape with 20 triangular faces and 12 pentagonal faces. The second book pictured is a late-13th c. medical text. The final book is an early anatomy text.

In Our Time: S13/03 The Spanish Armada (Oct 7 2010)
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Spanish Armada. On May 28th, 1588, a fleet of a hundred and fifty-one Spanish ships set out from Lisbon, bound for England. Its mission was to transport a huge invasion force across the Channel: the Spanish King, Philip II, was determined to remove Elizabeth from the throne and return the English to the Catholic fold. Two months later the mighty Spanish Armada was sighted off the coast of Cornwall. Bad weather, poor planning and spirited English resistance defeated the Spaniards: after a brief battle the remnants of their fleet fled. This tale of religious dispute, shifting political alliance and naval supremacy has entered our folklore - although some historians argue it changed nothing.
