Tom Quad, 1525

View east in the Tom Quad of Christ Church College, built by master masons Henry Redman and John Lubyns in 1525 under the patronage of Cardinal Wolsey. When Wolsey fell from power, the quad was left unfinished - the arches intended to connect with the cloister can still be seen on the walls. The pool in the center was originally the college reservoir. Christ Church College, Oxford, England. Christ Church College, Oxford, England, UK.
