Oxford's unique collection of university and college buildings both old and new form a major
part of this book. The city itself with its medieval walls and castle and ancient churches is also
fully described. Among the county's distinguished houses are Vanbrugh's Blenheim and Kent's
Rousham Park, each in magnificently landscaped grounds, while village churches range from
notable Norman examples such as Iffley to G.E. Street's inventive Victorian creations such as
St Simon & St Jude at Shipton-under-Wychwood. Other attractive towns in this still strongly
rural county vary from stone-built Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds to brick-built Henley on
the Thames.
