A statue of the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley
sits in the Shelley Memorial. This building was made specially to commemorate the former student who was sent down in 1811 for writing The Necessity of Atheism. The artist was Edward Onslow Ford.

University College, High Street, Oxford
University College was founded in 1249. In my mind, it will always be associated with William Turner's painting 'High Street, Oxford' currently hanging in the Ashmolean. Look across at those beautiful stone steps, raise your head up, and look squarely at the niche above. The portly Mary is standing in all her glory; if you look further along the building you can see her sister Anne.
The Covered Market shares an entrance with Jesus College on Market Street. It was opened in 1773 and is one of the oldest covered markets in Britian.
