Country Life & The Colleges of Oxford & Cambridge
Explore the great colleges of Oxford and Cambridge through exclusive articles and images from the Country Life Archive.

Country Life was a pioneer in the study of Oxford and Cambridge college architecture. Its series of articles on the greatest colleges published in the 1920s remains the most important overview of the subject. Ever since it has regulaly returned to these institutions and considered changes and improvements to them. For the first time, we are publishing a selection of these architectural articles online.
