Photographed on a sunny morning. View the Shelonian Theatre, The Claredon Building, The Bridge of Sighs, and the Bodleian Library.

The Sheldonian Theatre was erected in 1664-8 to a design by Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) from funds donated by Gilbert Sheldon (1598-1677), who during his long career held office as Warden of All Souls Bishop of London and Archbishop of Canterbury and was elected as Chancellor of the University of Oxford.

The Claredon Building was designed by Hawksmoor, built 1711-13 and was home of the University Press until 1830.

The Bridge of Sighs is a stone, Venetian-style bridge of Hertford college, spanning New College Lane.

The Bodleian Library is the main research library of the University of Oxford. It is also a copyright deposit library and its collections are used by scholars from around the world. The central buildings include Duke Humfrey's Library above the Divinity School, the Old Schools Quadrangle with its Great Gate and Tower, the Radcliffe Camera, Britain’s first circular library, and now the Clarendon Building.
