The site of the Waynflete Building. Construction of the new Quad is about to begin. Materials from the old building are being crushed and incorporated into the foundations. Immediately beyond the hoarding is the River Cherwell. Most student rooms will have river views.

In 1400, Oxford had a population of 6,000 and about 6 killings a year. Triple that of London and York.

Why was it so violent?

Students got off with impunity, as they had clerical privileges!

Nice evidence on institutions

Grey cat sitting on a table, gazing pensively onto the middle distance.
He has amber eyes and pronounced cheeks. A luxuriant mane, and a walrus moustache.
