Trinity college, Oxford.

Trinity College was founded as a training house for Catholic priests in the sixteenth century. The site of the college, now very much in the city centre, was originally chosen for its quiet, rural aspect. Trinity became a pillar of the Anglican establishment in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and a centre of educational reform in the nineteenth.

 

The past 100 years have seen great expansion in the numbers of fellows and students, and the college buildings and grounds have steadily changed to meet the evolving needs of the resident community.
