William Wordsworth 5 Oxford is both an historic and a beautiful city. <...> Dominated by its famous university, it was, in fact, an important and prosperous town with some 4,000 inhabitants in Saxon times, long before the university was founded here. <...> The town was fortifi ed and garrisoned by the Normans, and when Oxford declared for the Royalists during the Civil War, King Charles I moved his court here from London. <...> In the centre of the town it is scarcely possible to turn a corner or glance down a side street without coming upon some new perspective of Gothic towers, ancient cloisters and charming quadrangles. <...> Matthew Arnold’s “city of dreaming spires” is also Gerard Manley Hopkins’ “towery city and branchy between towers” and indeed it is the presence of trees, colourful college gardens and busy rivers which helps to make Oxford what it is. <...> In Saxon times two major trade routes intersected at Oxford: one linking London and the West, the other leading from the south coast to the Midlands. <...> It was from here in medieval times that bells were rung to summon people in times of riot. <...> A few doors away is the site of Europe’s oldest coffee shop which dates from the 1630s. <...> Several colleges line The High, one of which, University College, is among the three oldest Oxford colleges. <...> ALL SOULS COLLEGE The College of All Souls of the Faithful Departed of Oxford, was founded by King Henry VI and Henry Chichele, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1438. <...> It is thought that Christopher Wren was responsible for its design. 8 Founded in 1509 and expanded during the next 400 years, Brasenose College exhibits a delightful variety of building styles. <...> It has retained a strong connection with Wales to the present day and an important collection of Welsh books and manuscripts, some of them dating from medieval time, is housed in the college. <...> Situated in the centre of Oxford near Magdalen Bridge, the University of Oxford Botanic Garden is believed to be the oldest botanical garden in Britain. <...> Originally known as the “Physick Garden”, it was laid out on derelict ground in 1621 by Henry Danvers, Earl of Danby, for the study of medicinal herbs in the faculty of medicine at Magdalen College <...>
