The anniversary was worth celebrating because, as in so many areas, °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ had rather led the way in recognising and providing for what is now a major and vital part of its community whose genesis is worth exploring.</h3> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Plan of the site between Longwall Street and the city wall that became the Sacher Building [detail]<br>°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ Archives, Oxford, NCA BUR/BCF/205</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h5><strong>°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ Library and Archives, Oxford</strong></h5> </div> </div> <div class="col-md-2 col-md-offset-2 col-sm-3 col-sm-offset-1"> <div class="field field--name-field-attachment field--type-file field--label-hidden field--items"> <div class="field--item"><span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf icon-before"><span class="file-icon"><span class="icon glyphicon glyphicon-file text-primary" aria-hidden="true"></span></span><span class="file-link"><a href="/sites/default/files/2023-12/20NCN9%20%282023%29%20Stansfield%20on%20MCR.pdf" type="application/pdf; length=352831" title="Open file in new window" target="_blank" data-toggle="tooltip" data-placement="bottom">20NCN9 (2023) Stansfield on MCR.pdf</a></span><span class="file-size">344.56 KB</span></span></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> </div> </div> </div> </div> Fri, 29 Dec 2023 01:27:28 +0000 Christopher 2927 at /some-benefactors-and-their-heraldry <div class="top-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-12"> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field--item"> <img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/large_navigation/public/2023-07/Armorial%20bookplates%20of%20John%20Dell%20and%20Joseph%20Shrimpton%2C.JPG.webp?itok=9_tIkfhj" width="655" height="435" alt="Armorial bookplates of John Dell and Joseph Shrimpton—°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ Archives, Oxford, NCA 2429" class="img-responsive"> </div> <div class="field field--name-node-title field--type-ds field--label-hidden field--item"><h2> Some Benefactors and their Heraldry </h2> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-author field--type-string field--label-hidden field--item">Patric Dickinson</div> <div class="field field--name-field-issue field--type-string field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Issue number</div> <div class="field--item">(2023): 19</div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-notes-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field--label">Notes category</div> <div class="field--items"> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/474" hreflang="en">Heraldry</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/163" hreflang="en">19thC history </a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/160" hreflang="en">19C history</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/61" hreflang="en">°ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ history</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/475" hreflang="en">Charles Parrott</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/476" hreflang="en">John Dell</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/477" hreflang="en">Joseph Shrimpton</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/478" hreflang="en">Vernon Watney</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/479" hreflang="en">John Fisher Eastwood</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/480" hreflang="en">Arthur Eastwood</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/481" hreflang="en">Hastings Rashdall</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/482" hreflang="en">Harry Sacher</a></div> <div class="field--item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/74" hreflang="en">Archives</a></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="middle-wrapper"> <div class="inner-middle-wrapper"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-8"> <div class="field field--name-field-summary field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field--item"><h3>It is a commonplace that many of the coats of arms on display in Oxford colleges commemorate past benefactors. °ÅÀÖ¶ÌÊÓƵ is no exception, and in fact is particularly rich in heraldry that celebrates those who have contributed to its material wellbeing.
