Description:
- The only Oxford College to be founded by a foreigner, Antonin Besse chose Oxford when the French government rejected his plan to build a college in his native country. The college, which opened in 1950 with four students, is for graduates only, and specialises in international studies. Today, more than half of its nearly 300 members come from overseas. The entrance building was originally a convent built in 1868 by Marian Hughes, the first woman to become a nun in the Church of England. Visits possible at most times by appointment.
