Oxford often referred to as the
city of dreaming spires, is famous
the world over for its University
and place in history. For over 800
years, it has been a home to royalty
and scholars. St
Hugh’s college was founded
in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth, the
great niece of the poet. For a century
it was a women’s college, however
in 1986 it became co-educational and
is now one of the largest colleges
in Oxford.
