A day in Oxford

Today we meet up with our lovely friends who date back to Sheffield University days. We are doing the dress rehearsal for our Tour of Oxford's Medical History.  Details will be very brief as we do not intend to steel our own thunder. 

This is the restored twelth century Norman doorway of St Ebbe's church which is two minutes walk from the Castle. 


Here they all are listening intently and seriously to C's introduction at Cafe 1855.  This is a great spot with outside seating at the castle entrance. 


The castle was a prison in the past and is now a luxury hotel. 







Folly Bridge.  There has been a bridge on this site since Saxon times. 


Green Templeton College Oxford


The Old Parsonage Hotel.   Constructed in the seventeenth century on the site of a medieval hospice. 



Penrose Paving at the Mathematical Institute. 


It has been a lovely summer day and our feedback is good.  At the end we have a toast to our absent but present in spirit dear departed friend.
