St Johns College  |
Oxford Index | | ||||||
|
| |||||||||
|
This college is so wealthy, it is said that one can travel from Oxford to Cambridge without setting foot off land owned by St John's. Whether or not this is true, St John's does own most of North Oxford and other property throughout the country. The college was founded during the reign of catholic Queen Mary on the site of St Bernard's Monastery, destroyed during the Dissolutions under Henry VIII. These days the college is famous for both its academic excellence and for its gardens. | | |||||||
