Old College history
A few years ago, the Quad in the centre of Old College was dug up and turned from a car park into the beautiful slabs and grass you can enjoy today. Whilst the work was taking place, the University carried out an archaeological investigation.
The new book documents the archaeological dig in the quad and what was discovered about our history.
Books can be purchased on the day with all profits will go towards the University’s student internships.
