But the meadow's wide open views have now been damaged by Oxford City Council allowing Oxford University to build a row of massive blocks around the south-eastern perimeter. This has been likened to building a skyscraper next to Stonehenge, and campaigners are fighting to have the top storeys removed.

A hedge beyond that forms a shield,
Happier times from yesterday
Sadly lost and gone away.
Isisbridge replied to Studley:
But yonder eyesore blocks now loom,
Since Oxford Uni spoiled the day
By building Roger Dudman Way.
