Notes: |
This circular building, The Radcliffe Camera, was built between 1739 and 1749, and was designed by the architect James Gibbs. The name came because a doctor left the money for the purpose of building a library, and the building is still used as a library today: it is the reading room at the Bodleian Library. |
