Mob Quad



I was lucky enough to be assigned a room here—the three windows on the left on the second floor are my room.

Mob Quad is usually described as the oldest quad in Oxford, and my building is the oldest part of the quad, built between 1310 and 1320. Yes, I am sleeping in a building that is more than 1000 years old. Never mind J.R.R. Tolkien—this was built twenty years before Chaucer was born.
