Happy Fence Friday, All.

One from the Archives where I decided it needed a panoramic crop :-)

On the left is Merton College, Oxford. Merton College was founded in 1264 by Walter de Merton, Lord Chancellor and Bishop of Rochester. It is claimed to be the oldest college in Oxford. But, apparently, this has been disputed by Balliol College and University College. I don't know if there has been any agreement to which college is actually the oldest!

In the distance is Magdalen Tower. The Tower is one of the oldest parts of Magdalen College. Built of stone from 1492, when the foundation stone was laid, its bells were hung ready for use in 1505 and completed by 1509. It is 144 feet (44 m) high and dominates the eastern entrance to the city of Oxford.

When looking for a 'Sight & Sound' link I didn't think I would find a song called "College". But, surprisingly, I found "College" by Pat Green. I was going to say I hadn't heard of Pat Green but, actually, I think I do have one of Pat's albums tucked away...somewhere :-)
