More about this scene

The college was founded in 1509 and takes its name from the form of an ancient brass door-knocker. According to some sources, the original brazen nose was carried off by rebellious students to Brasenose Hall at Stamford in Lincolnshire, a rival seat of learning. It remained there until 1890. The gateway dates from the college's foundation. This Victorian photograph shows Brasenose College standing in the shadow of the Radcliffe Camera, which became one of the reading rooms for the Bodleian Library 30 years before this picture was taken.

Founded in the early 13th century by St Edmund of Abingdon, who lectured in the old church of St Peter in the East, which is now the college library. St Edmund later became Archbishop of Canterbury.
