Description
An evocative and richly illustrated history to celebrate the 700-year anniversary of Oriel College, Oxford.
Oriel College celebrates its 700-year anniversary in 2026. This lavish new publication blends an engaging written history with archival illustrations, artwork and treasures, and new photography of Oriel's impressive architecture.
Captured within this magnificent volume is a visual tour through Oriel's past, present, and future. This publication chronicles how Oriel received its royal charter in 1326, its flourishing intellectual reputation, and the luminaries who attended Oriel in subsequent centuries—from Saints to scientists, Nobel Laureates to Olympians. Oriel's community has changed radically in the last 100 years—now the College boasts over 60 Fellows admitting 500 students, attracting talented applicants from around the world.
The book wonderfully illustrates Oriel's seven centuries of history with beautiful shots of one of Oxford's iconic colleges. It also recalls those nurtured within Oriel's close-knit community—generations of students, Fellows, and alumni who have shaped the world and define the College's legacy.
