Yes nice pub with good beer and a slight French twist.

I have visited Oxford and surrounding areas many times and will be there again for two weeks in September 2024. However I only discovered The Old Bookbinders Ale House in Jericho last year. What a wonderful pub. Best regards ,,,, John.

This brings back memories. I was the assistant manageress here in the 1980's, very spooky experiences whilst I lived there. George the landlord from centuries before would often move things about. All the staff talked about George. 😊😊😊👻👻👻 I also got to serve John Thaw when they were filming Morse

Thank you Rob for another interesting video of the less well known aspects of Oxford. I knew of one or two of the tunnels mentioned, but others are a complete surprise. Regarding Cuckoo Lane and it`s preservation, would that be due to any connection with it being an historic Public Rights of Way ?? In various parts of the country, housing developers have been required to preserve these public footpaths, to much annoyance on their part, as they are a crucial connection to the countries heritage - and thank goodness too :) Thank you !!!!!

Thank you Rob! The tour with you was such an inspired journey! My daughter likes it very much!

The carving on the door is surely a Green Man with leaves coming from his mouth,not a lion with a thick mane?

I love robs videos about oxford! Since we can learn soooo much about it!

Thank you Rob for your continuous efforts in content production on Oxford, look forward to the next one

Sorry Rob, I forgot to mention, and thank you for filming the chapel interior - isn`t it fabulous ?? I have enjoyed visiting other places around the UK where other interior designs by William Burges can be found - not to everyone`s taste, but one could not deny his vision and attention to detail :) thanks !!!

Thank you Rob - yes I do subscribe to your channel already :) I was particularly delighted at this video of Worcester College.I had enjoyed the friendship of a fellow academic of Worcester before she relocated to the U.S., and she and I walked around the stunning grounds and it`s equally stunning lake, on several occasions. I recall, vividly the wonderful pleasure when two swans, with their young cygnets came right to where we were standing, with no signs of worry or concern :) Thank you for some essential background on the college itself -always appreciated, and I look forward to further Oxford videos - top shelf every time !!!!!!

Love an open mike

Thank you Rob, a comprehensive intro to Oxford University, and providing those essential initial questions for a person considering applying for undergraduate placement. As a retired Oxford academic, now living far away, over the years I have made every effort to answer those voiced uncertainties - " Can anyone apply ? " " Is it expensive ? " " Is it a bit exclusive, only for the well off ? " and so on. Happily, nearly all colleges now offer and provide substantial on- line information, and many SLO`s have placed informative videos on UA-cam and so forth, so that all prospective students should be able to make a much more informed decision than in times past - and how fortunate they are :) Thanks once again, and well done !!

Fascinating Rob!

🇩🇪

Has it survived? I'm hoping to visit next year from the US. We're fascinated by all the history in Oxford, and that means pubs and music venues just as much as cathedrals, monuments and libraries.

Thank you very much!

I got a Desmond from Luton poly. I think these toffs are overrated. I run rings round them in the real world. You cannot eat a fist class degree from Merton.

I live alone in a very small flat, in a poor German city, have poor eyesight, and find refuge in my books. I am currently reading 'The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien'. Your video tour was like magic for my reading-mind's eye. Thank you.

Rob, great video, but you mispronounced “Wykeham” - think like Jane Austen and say “Mr. Wickham”… ;)

Hwæt ! means litterally "what!" in Anglo-Saxon. It's, of course, the beginning of the poeam Beowulf (Hwæt! We Geardena in geardagum...). Still, this might have been used to get ppl's attention for sure. Clearly Tolkien used it that way. Lovely.

Wait. Catz were second in 2020 when you don't use the averages.. I didn't believe it at the time of course, it's always been known for 'mid-table mediocrity'. I hope that this wasn't achieved with the usual practice of kicking out your potential thirds and 2:2s early one.

Good stuff - but Magdalen spelt incorrectly

University college

that's a treat, thanks. I think I'll remember that bike ride for a long time. Tolkien seemed to achieve some perfect median of just enough comfort, but not too much fame, that allowed him to explore his imagination entirely.

Thank you for a really interesting tour of Tolkien's Oxford; it brought many of those key places to life. One thing, it was Edith who died in 1971, with JRRT surviving her by two years.

Most splendid, indeed...

Fine presentation, except that no mention was made about the Catholic Church's role in the establishment of Oxford.

Hertford College has to count surely?

Campion Hall is a small, Jesuit private College but is amazing and of a very high standard It's a male college but women can study there , if allowed to, but cannot live in. It's a truly wonderful, very special place. In 2008 they hosted for a special dinner for the Dalai Lama's interpreter, who is a personal friend of mine. He loved it there , as did I. Gerry Hughes (the philosopher one) and Fr Norman Tanner were marvellous back in the day.

Thanks 😊

Hello I sought to have some correspondence with Balliol College and I failed and I wrote my commentaries on the Merton College portal so it would be interesting to receive my correspondence from Balliol College, thank you

I lived in Oxford in 2002 and 2003 so I went on some college tours and quite frankly the most outstanding colleges to me were All Souls and Merton however I visited Balliol for a seminar and I still thrive on that experience to this day, thank you.

Ha, why would he have been impressed by a memorial to heretics?

An entertaining video but the Norrington methodology fails to consider advanced degrees, students who take those qualifications or graduate-only colleges. Perhaps a metric of students at matriculation rather than graduation would be more comprehensive.

As a a Merton Graduate love this video and why should I not? Dr John M. Land Matriculated 1977

theblenhiem easily the best.

Hi, Rob. A group of us navigated the Trill Mill stream by canoe in the early 1970s. It would be great if you could include our expedition with the three you have included so far.

Amazing!!!

Thank you, Rob - I never knew about this.

very interesting video Rob

Very interesting as always, and nice music too!

Wow. Who would have thought.

Look at the Halls please. They are in Oxford and need to be explained, please. Especially St. Edmunds because of its place off the high street.

Love this place

Interesting but a bit low energy.

Good news,heard today that the lamb and flag is being taken over by the landlord of the Plough! It was from the landlord himself.

Thank you. Love Oxford.

Thank you. Love Oxford.

Thank you! I really appreciate these videos. What an incredible place.
