This building presents on its surface the most evident marks of the
injuries of time and weather, in the abraded state of the stone, which
probably was of a bad quality originally.
The view is taken from the other side of the High Street—looking North.
The time is morning.
In the distance is seen at the end of a narrow street the Church of St.
Peter’s in the East, said to be the most ancient church in Oxford, and
built during the Saxon era. This street, shortly after passing the
church, turns to the left, and leads to New College.
