Edmund Not Alban

A Memory of Oxford.

This photograph is of St Edmund Hall, affectionately known as 'Teddy Hall', which by common consent is the oldest seat of learning in the University of Oxford. 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.
Scholars of St Edmund Hall are renowned for their prowess on the sports field, on the river and in the bar. Some of us can also do joined up riting.
