More highlights from our trip to Oxford, England... The great quadrangle at Magdelen College was constructed between 1474 and 1480. It is an excellent example of English Late Gothic architecture. Buttressed, pinnacled, and decorated, it proclaims the wealth and power of the college. Oriel windows light the interior rooms, and the gateway is embellished with vaulting ribs and carved bosses. The flying ribs around the main doorways are an unusual feature.
