Description
The Sheldonian Theatre Broad Street, Oxford.
This Grade I listed building with it's ornate statues standing guard is in the centre of the city and is an Oxford gem designed by Sir Christopher Wren. Acting as the official ceremonial hall of the University of Oxford, it’s open to the public to visit when not in use. The building’s unusual D-shape was inspired by an engraving of an ancient Roman theatre, and gives the Sheldonian its own unique character.
