Oxford (/ˈɒksfərd/) is a city in the South East region of England and the county town of Oxfordshire. With a population of 159,994 it is the 52nd largest city in the United Kingdom, and one of the fastest growing and most ethnically diverse. Oxford has a broad economic base. Its industries include motor manufacturing, education, publishing and a large number of information technology and science-based businesses, some being academic offshoots. The city is known worldwide as the home of the University of Oxford, the oldest university in the English-speaking world. Buildings in Oxford demonstrate notable examples of every English architectural period since the late Saxon period. Oxford is known as the "city of dreaming spires", a term coined by poet Matthew Arnold.
Oxford was first settled in Saxon times and was initially known as "Oxenaforda", meaning "Ford of the Oxen" (according to the English Place-Name Society, who base their result on a passing reference in Florence of Worcester's work "Chronicon ex chronicis"); fords were more common than bridges at that time. It began with the establishment of a river crossing for oxen around AD 900. In the 10th century, Oxford became an important military frontier town between the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex and was on several occasions raided by Danes.
Some views I recorded of my old college, Queen's, on 22nd December 2010 during the terrible snows which hit the South of England. The college is virtually deserted.
Michael Riordan, archivist of The Queen's College Oxford, explains how the college's classical architecture embodies a particular moment in history, and the philosophy of the age in which it was built.
In 1985 the BBC produced a series detailing the life in a college in the University of Cambridge. In this episode we follow a number of students going through the application process. Unfortunately the transfer ends abruptly, before the results are revealed. In episode 2 the documentary follows the ones who got in.
