I was very interested in the stone heads atop the railings
surrounding the front of the Sheldonian Theatre.

Nearby, the most famous building named "Radcliffe Camera" was in
sight. The Radcliffe Camera, a large
circular building with a lofty dome, was built by James Gibbs
between 1737 and 1749 with money bequeathed by John Radcliffe
(1650-1714), the famous physician, and was designed to house a
library endowed by Radcliffe. The building was constructed with
stone, and the dome and cupola

Just on the opposite side of the Radcliffe Square stands another
famous landmark of Oxford, the University Church of St. Mary the
Virgin, which is the largest of Oxford's parish
churches and the centre from which the University of Oxford grew,
and is surrounded by university and college buildings. In the later 15th and early 16th
century the main body of the church was substantially rebuilt in
the Perpendicular style, but the oldest part of the present church
is the tower, which dates from around
1270.

neglected.
