Brasenose College
Brasenose faces the Radcliffe Camera across Radcliffe Square. Its Old Quad and later college buildings offer a close comparison with the public architecture just outside its gates.
The college founded in 1509 adds an intimate scale to Radcliffe Square. Its name is linked to a brass or bronze door knocker from an earlier hall. If admitted, the Old Quad, Hall, Chapel and Deer Park show layers of college life; the view back towards the Camera makes the relationship between the two sites clear.
What to look for
The college entrance faces Radcliffe Square and the Radcliffe Camera.
The Old Quad, Hall and Chapel form part of the college's historic core.
The Deer Park adds an open space within the college grounds.
Useful to know
Begin in Radcliffe Square so you can compare the public square with the college interior.
Confirm visitor admission before planning around the quads; individual entry is discretionary.
