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.

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).
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.

Eton College is a 13–18 independent boarding school and sixth form for boys in the parish of Eton, near Windsor in Berkshire.
Most have stayed over the winter -- so lovely to see their bright reds against the snow -- but the next generation seems to be arriving now. . . we are rich in Cardinals!!
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.
Taken on a very foggy morning on the campus of Western Oregon University which is about four blocks from my house.

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.
I like the way the small tree added to the rather elegant architecture of the cloister in Magdalen College in Oxford
The Cloister or Great Quad was built in 1474–80 by William Orchard and has been altered several times down the centuries it has though never lost is medieval charm

This lovely, beautifully maintained terrace of 19th century artisan cottages in Deal, Kent, is Grade II-listed by Historic England to ensure their collective group architectural value is permanently protected. They’re to be found in College Road, named after a long-gone boarding school for the sons of gentry.
They are just one part of Deal’s remarkable variety of largely preserved architectural styles, which make the Kentish coastal town so special.
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.

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.
Lancing College Chapel is the chapel to Lancing College in West Sussex, England, and is an example of Gothic Revival architecture.The chapel was designed by R.H. Carpenter and William Slater. The foundation stone of the college chapel was laid in 1868 and, although building work stopped in 1977, the chapel remains unfinished. The chapel was dedicated to St Mary and St Nicolas in 1911 but the college had worshipped in the finished crypt from 1875. The chapel is built of Sussex sandstone from Scaynes Hill. It is a Grade I listed building.
Lancing College Chapel is one of the tallest interior vaulted churches in the United Kingdom. The apex of the vaulting rises to 90 ft (27.4m) above the floor. The original plans called for a tower at the north side and the foundations for it were laid but not used; the tower would have raised the height to well over 300 ft (90m). The chapel design is based on 13th Century English Gothic, with French influences. It follows a standard English Gothic plan, with a triforium and a very high clerestory. The French influences are noticeable not just in the massive clerestory, but also in the apse and the massive rose window on the west end. It is the largets school chapel in the world. (wik)
