Upcoming History Tour: Oxford

Welcome to Oxford, the academic capital of Britain! We all know about the university, the grand architecture, and the vibrant, youthful feel, but what else is there? Where did the university first emerge, and what’s the story beyond the university? In this tour learn about both sides of the city, the town and gown. How the students and the townsfolk got along, or in some cases didn’t, how they shaped each other, and their effect on the world at large, as Oxford became a magnet for scholars and a centre for ideas with worldwide impact. Here we look at the history of Oxford, and take you around the highlights of one of England’s most prominent and beautiful cities.
