Graveyard of St Mary Magdalene church, Oxford, in Magdalen Street (which is some distance from Magdalen College!) The November sun was lighting the graveyard rather attractively so I took a quick photo of it. There is one very impressive tomb in the graveyard, but the graveyard isn't open so I wasn't able to find who's grave it is.

A picture of Oxford

Oxford Christ Church Meadow cottages. These old houses are occupied by the meadow warden. At one time there was an old notice with a long list of persons (and activities) not permitted in the Meadow. This has gone, but the rules are still pretty strict, you are not allowed to play ball games in them for example.

Magdalen College Tower, Oxford. I suspect that the founders of the Oxford College had something of a competition to build the best, biggest, or highest tower; certainly Magdalen Tower would win any such competition for its dominant location alone.

Magdalen College grounds, Oxford. Magdalen College has its playing fields on an island in the River Cherwell (which must be an effective deterrent to anyone attempting to sneak off!). I've rarely seen the bridges photographed, although the 'Oxford Tube' did have them on their buses for a while.
