The Old Warden's Lodgings



Warden is the name given to the head of the college, so this building was formerly his residence (three women have been warden here, including the current warden, but that's obviously more recent than this building.)

It's now one of the libraries; I haven't gone there yet because the Bodleian is only a ten-minute walk away and I'd rather sit in Duke Humfrey's. There's another library here in Mob Quad that is unfortunately closed for renovations. It is supposed to be haunted by a Royalist who was executed during the English Civil War.
