Wadham College - PHOTOGRAPHER COMMENT
This panorama shows the quad of Wadham College, one of the colleges of Oxford University. Like most of the college quads, this has collage buildings surrounding a central grassed area which is immaculately kept and may have been tended for hundreds of years. Just over the road opposite Wadham College are the expansive grounds of Trinity College. These are not visible in this panoramic image, but can be clearly seen on the satellite view of the Google map of Oxford.

It is on the end of Parks Road, near the heart of Oxford, about 10 minutes walk form University Parks and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. Parts of Wadham College are sometimes open to the public who may then view the college grounds, garden and chapel. Access to both the College chapel and gardens are via an exit of f the northeast corner of the quad, to the left of the clock tower in this panoramic picture (whose bell is rung from the chapel).
Wadham College was established by an endowment upon the death of Nicholas Wadham in 1609. The initial building and management was overseen by his wife Dorothy until her death in 1618. It is one of the youngest colleges, but has some of the oldest buildings in Oxford. Women were not permitted as full college members until 1974. It is paired with Christ's College in Cambridge.
