After the luncheon, members will be welcome to use the dining area until 3.00 pm. Alternatively, members may wish to visit the historic centre of Oxford and the haunts of Inspector Morse. For those staying overnight in Oxford, a visit to the Sheldonian Theatre is planned (subject to ticket availability), where the City of Oxford Orchestra will perform a selection of Springtime Baroque.

Lady Margaret Hall is relatively new, having been founded in 1878 as the first College for women at Oxford. The College is named after Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII. Set within 14 acres of gardens, lawns and river walks, the buildings of the College range from mid-Victorian to the early 1970’s.
