Oxford's unique collection of university and college buildings both
old and new form a major part of this book. The city itself with
its medieval walls and castle and ancient churches is also fully
described. Among the county's distinguished houses are Vanbrugh's
Blenheim and Kent's Rousham Park, each in magnificently landscaped
grounds, while village churches range from notable Norman examples
such as Iffley to G.E. Street's inventive Victorian creations such
as St Simon & St Jude at Shipton-under-Wychwood. Other
attractive towns in this still strongly rural county vary from
stone-built Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds to brick-built Henley
on the Thames.
