No.22 Sheldonian Theatre

admin — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 20:51:17 +0000

The Sheldonian Theatre was built from 1664 to 1668 after a design by Christopher Wren for the University of Oxford. The building is named after Gilbert Sheldon, chancellor of the university at the time and the project’s main financial backer. It is used for music concerts, lectures and university ceremonies, but not for drama. In 1994 the Theatre was described by the European Commission as “one of the architectural jewels of Oxford”.
