Led by Ana Barandalla, 2nd April 2022
Join us for a walking tour through some of the most significant places for our women whilst they were in Oxford. We will gather outside the Bodleian Library to begin our journey at 2pm, and make our way to the Woodstock Road and up it, as we trail a range of miscellaneous locations – homes, pubs, churches, colleges – where key events in our women’s lives happened. We expect the stroll to take about an hour, ending at St Hugh’s College, at around 3pm. After that, participants might wish to walk back to town together, and maybe even treat themselves to a refreshment along the way.
