Canterbury Quadrangle, Historic quadrangle at St. John's College, Oxford, England.
The Canterbury Quadrangle features stone walls, ornate carvings, and central grass lawns surrounded by covered walkways at St. John's College in Oxford.
William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury, directed the construction of this quadrangle between 1631 and 1636 through master masons John Jackson and Robert White.
The Grade I listed quadrangle demonstrates the architectural evolution of Oxford colleges, reflecting early Stuart period design principles and educational values.
