This is a resurrection of an old photo of the Radcliffe Camera but in B&W. It was taken from St Mary the Virgin's tower to get an aerial perspective.
The Radcliffe Camera was designed by James Gibbs in the English Palladian style and built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. It is the earliest example in England of a circular library.

Grade I listed. Built to the designs of Henry Keene from the benefaction of Dr John Radcliffe. Completed in 1795.
The dwellinghouse, the two wings and the central part up as far as the platform were built of Headington Stone before Keene's death in 1776. James Wyatt, who succeeded Keene as architect, altered some of the external parts and raised the upper octagon building, basing it on the design of the Tower of the Winds. The front extends 175 feet, each of the wings being 69 feet long and the top of the tower is about 106 feet from the ground. The third storey consists of the octagonal tower, with eight sculptures of the winds on the entablature and a large globe supported by bronze figures of Hercules and Atlas at the top, executed by John Bacon, RA. The bas reliefs, under the platform, represent the signs of the zodiac and the rising moon and setting sun and were modelled in Coade stone by Rossi, RA .
Half of Radcliffe Camera in Oxford has been lit initially for the Night of Heritage Light 2017, and now for the Oxford Christmas Light Festival. Hopefully, it will remain, and the other half done.

The Radcliffe Camera (often abbreviated to "the Rad Cam" in Oxford), is a building in Oxford, England, designed by James Gibbs in the English Baroque style and built in 1737–1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library. The building was funded by a £40,000 bequest from John Radcliffe, who died in 1714. Nicholas Hawksmoor proposed making the building round.
The Camera - which means chamber, room, or round building - is a main reading room of the Bodleian Library. Around 600,000 books are also stored in rooms beneath Radcliffe Square. To preserve the safety of the books the public are not allowed inside the building.
