Historical monuments
  • Tom Tower is a bell tower  in Oxford, England,
    named for its bell, Great Tom. It is over Tom
    Gate, on St Aldates, the main entrance of Christ
    Church, Oxford, which leads into Tom Quad. This
    square tower with an octagonal lantern and
    facetted ogee dome was designed by Christopher
    Wren and built 168182. The strength of Oxford
    architectural tradition and Christ Church's
    connection to its founder, Henry VIII, motivated
    the decision to complete the gatehouse structure,
    left unfinished by Cardinal Wolsey at the date of
    his fall from power in 1529, and which had
    remained roofless since. Wren made a case for
    working in a late Gothic style  that it "ought
    to be Gothick to agree with the Founders
    worke"  a style that had not been seen in a
    prominent building for a hundred and fifty years,
    making Tom Tower a lonely precursor of the Gothic
    Revival that got underway in the mid-18th century
    .Wren never came to supervise the structure as it
    was being erected by the stonemason he had
    recommended, Christopher Kempster, of Burford .
  • In 1732-34, when William Kent was called upon to
    make sympathetic reconstruction of the east range
    of Clock Court in Wolsey's Tudor Hampton Court
    Palace, he naturally turned to the precedent of
    Tom Tower for his "central ogee dome with its
    coronet of pilaster-like gothick finials The
    tower of Dunster House at Harvard University is a
    direct imitation of Tom Tower, though its details
    have been Georgianised, and stones from Christ
    Church are installed in one of the house's main
    entryways. It has been pointed out by
    many Pembroke College students that the best view
    of Tom Tower is from their porters' lodge, off St
    Aldates.

BALLIOL COLLEGE.
  • Balliol College is one of the largest schools
    that comprise the University of Oxford. It is
    named after John I de Balliol and was founded in
    1263. Balliol was a wealthy man of nobility who
    decided to give scholarships to students of
    Oxford. Then he built a house university, the
    future Balliol College. The main entrance is on
    Broad Street Balliol, and you can visit the
    campus. In front of the entrance, there are many
    guides that offer a full tour of the universities
    of Oxford.
  • Balliol College is the most popular, in terms of
    the number of people who apply each year for
    their courses. Many international students
    exchange go there. The student is perhaps best
    known economist Adam Smith, who determined the
    laws of the invisible hand that regulates the
    market and economic exchanges.
  • A within the school grounds, find a great
    library, but also entertainment, two bars and
