This is the guidebook that all visitors to Cambridge will need. Combining an accessible, anecdotal style with accuracy of fact and a wealth of historical detail, it is a book that can be used to accompany a walking tour around the University and colleges, or read at leisure as an authoritative introduction to the city. Packed with newly commissioned colour illustrations and detailed maps, the book is divided helpfully into sections focusing on particular groups of sites within Cambridge. Central attractions (both colleges and other parts of the University, including museums as well as the main churches) receive full entries, and the book also offers historical descriptions of all the outer-lying colleges, making it a comprehensive survey of the collegiate University that can be used for reference. There is an informative introduction, a full list of colleges with foundation dates, a glossary, and a comprehensive index.

This richly illustrated book traces the story of Oxford University from its origins in the Middle Ages to the present day. Written by a team of scholars, all authorities in their fields, it spans 800 years of learning and incident to give a uniquely authoritative history of the University for the general reader. Since the Middle Ages, Oxford University's part in learning has always been significant and colourful. Many future leaders of the nation have been educated there. The architecture of the University and colleges has become one of the glories of Europe, and its libraries and museums house a number of major collections. But most importantly, a university must be judged by its attachment to scholarship - a theme which runs throughout this book. Students have been drawn to Oxford from all over the world, and today the University is internationally recognized for its contribution to research, both in the sciences and in the liberal arts. Authoritative, scholarly, and informative, this book captures the richness and diversity of Oxford University, and its contribution to the nation and to the world. In addition to over 200 illustrations, including 24 full-colour plates, specifically chosen to complement the wide-ranging text, there are also 5 maps, a chronology, annotated guides to further reading, and a full index.

The Shrine was regarded by superstition in bygone days to be unsafe for any monarch of England to approach.

On the floor of St. Frideswide's Chapel are several brasses and memorials of departed worthies. The windows have remains of ancient illuminated glass. The North A isle is next entered, in which visitors will observe the Lothian Window (central), presented by Marquis of Lothian, 1876, as a memorial to his brother, a student of the foundation, in magnificent Dr. John Underbill (New Coll.), third Bishop of Oxford, born at Crosa Inn, Cornmarket, 1546; 152 THREE CHRIST CHURCH STUDENTS DROWNED. illuminated glass, executed in a masterly manner. The subject represented is " St. Michael driving the Dragon and Fallen Angels from Heaven." The tomb of James Souch or Zouch (died 1503), a benefactor to the Houae in the fifteenth century, will be noticed in this part of the edifice. The west window, " Jonah under the Gourd at Nineveh," dates from circa 1630, and is supposed to be by Abraham Von Ligne. There is a memorial to Bishop James of Calcutta, near this spot, and memorial-windows to the Revs. Cyril Page and Fremantle. Passing into the South aisle, four memorial-windows (three to students drowned), will attract the visitors' notice: --1.
