Showing posts with the label coat of arms

Oxford - 39 a St Giles

I was rather taken by this worn out coat of arms over the door to the Department of Computer Science Annex. It turns out that they belonged to Samuel Wilblerforce , Bishop of Oxford from 1845 to 1869.  The door used to lead to the dioscean registry of the Bishop of Oxford, in a building attached to the back of the house. Since 1999 said building, has been used by the Department of Computer Science .
