Merton College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. Its foundation can be traced back to the 1260s when Walter de Merton, chancellor to Henry III and later to Edward I, first drew up statutes for an independent academic community and established endowments to support it.
Exit from King's College (to the right) and entrance to Clare College (centre), Cambridge. When thinking about 'college architecture' - if there is such a thing - one thing becomes clear here in Cambridge: it is often the architecture of monuments (or even cemeteries) and castles. Heavy stone usually is the building material and the buildings themselves are meant to last and to be there long after the death of those who constructed them. A tombstone here and there would not feel out of place. But then, there are the students and others on their bicycles and the strange impression of a necropolis is washing away. Fuji X-E2.
This Cambridge college was founded in the 1880s. The style is Victorian Late Perpendicular Gothic Revival and it was designed by the architect Sir Arthur Blomfield.

The second quadrangle at Jesus college. This part of the college was begun in 1640, the work was interrupted by the Civil war and resumed again in 1676, and it not completely finished until 1712. It's famous the Dutch gables (which is what that type of 'facade topping' is called).
The Collège de France, founded in 1530, is a renowned higher education and research establishment (grand établissement) in France and an affiliate college of PSL University. It is located in Paris, in the 5th arrondissement, or Latin Quarter, across the street from the historical campus of La Sorbonne. The Collège is considered to be France's most prestigious research university. As of 2017, 21 Nobel Prize winners and 8 Fields Medalists have been affiliated with the Collège.
This Cambridge college was founded (and this part of the college built) in the 1880s. The style is Victorian Late Perpendicular Gothic Revival (though to my untrained eyes it looks an awful lot like Tudor revival), designed by the architect Sir Arthur Blomfield.

The little girl with her guitar looked so adorable. As we walked the same direction, I took few photos along the way.

Carmel College, with extensive buildings and gardens leading down to the River Thames at the village/hamlet of Mongewell in South Oxfordshire, was founded in 1948 as a Jewish boarding school for boys. Since its closure in 1997 and after arguments about the sale of the site and an abuse scandal, little use seems to have been made of the property - much is now seriously derelict - other than as an occasional film & TV location.
Oxford University. This college was closed to the public so I took the photo from the entrance arch over the gate. It was open doors weekend in Oxford. Some opened to the public on Saturday and some on Sunday. Our photowalk was on the Sunday so assume this was accessible the previous day.
New College is a historic building at the University of Edinburgh which houses the university's School of Divinity. It is one of the largest and most renowned centres for studies in Theology and Religious Studies in the United Kingdom. Students in M.A., M.Th. and Ph.D. degree programmes come from over 30 countries, and are taught by almost 40 full-time members of the academic staff. New College is situated on The Mound in the north of Edinburgh's Old Town.
New College originally opened its doors in 1846 as a college of the Free Church of Scotland, later of the United Free Church of Scotland, and since 1935 has been the home of the School of Divinity (formerly the Faculty of Divinity) of the University of Edinburgh. As "New College" it continues the historic commitment to offer a programme of academic preparation for ministry in the Church of Scotland, also made use of by ministerial candidates from other churches. In the 1970s the Faculty of Divinity also began offering undergraduate degrees in Theology and Religious Studies, and students in these programmes now make up the majority of the nearly 300 undergraduates enrolled in any given year.
The founding of New College came as a result of a religious conflict that emerged from the Disruption of 1843 in which clergy and laity left the established Church of Scotland to establish the Free Church of Scotland – free from state connections and submitting only to the authority of Christ. New College was established as an institution for the Free Church of Scotland to educate future ministers and the Scottish leadership, who would in turn guide the moral and religious lives of the Scottish people. New College opened its doors to 168 students in November 1843 and, under the guidance of its first principal Thomas Chalmers, oversaw the construction of the current building. A competition for design of the Free High Church and Free Church College was held in 1844 and, though not one of the winners, the design by William Henry Playfair was chosen and built 1845–1850. At the formation of the United Free Church, the United Free Church was granted the buildings, and the continuing Free Church operated from new premises in 1907. This Free Church College was renamed Edinburgh Theological Seminary in 2014.

The Chapel was built in the eighteenth century. Three people were responsible for its diffent stages and lengthy construction.which took from 1720-91, Dr George Clarke, Henry Keane and James Wyatt. It took this long due to shortage of funds.Between 1864 and 1866 the chapel was re-decorated by Wiliam Burges in a highly unusual and decorative way being prodominantly pink , the pew ends are decorated with carved animals of all kinds including Rhino's and Elephants. The stained glasswere to have been designed by John Everett Milais, but the designs were rejected by Burges and later given Henry Holiday.Oscar Wilde said of the Chapel, 'As a piece of simple decorative and beautiful art it is perfect, and the windows very artistic.
