bury Building, Linbury Building and Canal Building (for undergraduates) and the Franks Building (for postgraduates), where all rooms have en suite facilities. Although Worcester is near the centre of Oxford today, it was on the edge of the city in the eighteenth century. This has been an asset in the long run, since it has allowed the College to retain very extensive gardens (26 acres), which are as much of an attraction to visitors as our architecture. One important advantage of these gardens is that Worcester, unlike any other college, can provide playing fields for all the usual games within its own grounds. But most members of Worcester would probably agree that their deepest debt to the past, and to the College’s benefactors, is the beauty of the surroundings in which they live.
