Exeter College, College of the University of Oxford, England
Exeter College occupies a central location on Turl Street, with Gothic stone buildings surrounding a quadrangle near the Bodleian Library.
Walter de Stapledon, Bishop of Exeter, established the college in 1314 as a school for clergy education with twelve initial students.
The college chapel, completed in 1860 by architect George Gilbert Scott, features high medieval Gothic design with detailed stone carvings.
Visitors can enter the college grounds between 9 AM and 5 PM daily, with adult admission costing £3 while children under twelve enter free.
The Fellows Garden provides direct views of Radcliffe Square and contains Palmer's Tower, the only remaining structure from the medieval college.
