Founded by wealthy Somerset landowners Nicholas and Dorothy Wadham, this college became active in 1610. Although Wadham is one of the youngest of Oxford’s ‘historic colleges’ the institution contains some of the University’s best preserved ancient buildings. This is a thanks in part to a rash rebuilding policy that swept the city during the seventeenth century. Under the original charter women were forbidden from entering the college, but these rules were eventually relaxed and Wadham became co-educational in 1974.
