Oxford

I was the documenter for Oxford so here is a recap of our day in the wonderful town!

Our tour of Oxford was truly amazing! I had no idea what to expect when we were on our way and I was very surprised with how much history Oxford contains. One of the first big sites we saw was the Sheldonian Theatre where the grand graduations are held for collage students. We then visited the courtyeard of the Old Bodleian Library where we were able to go into the Divinity School where oral exams were held when Oxford first came about. The Divinity School is the oldest surviving purpose-built building of the University dating from 1488. We then went on to visit the lamppost that inspired C.S. Lewis and his famous Chronicles of Narnia. We also saw here a piece of architecture that inspired a main character in the story. We were also able to visit one of the courtyards where Harry Potter was filmed. Our tour guide told us that the area was rented for three weeks and it took them three days to film the perfect scenes. To end our tour we got to see The Eagle and Child the famous Inklings met and bounced ideas off of each other for their amazing books.
