The Divinity School is between the Bodleian library and the Sheldonian Theatre but is an impressive buiding in its own right. It was built in the 15th century (1426 — 1480) for theology students but today theology students have lectures in their halls of residence, their colleges and university lecture theatres. The building has served a variety of purposes over the years and hosted Charles I’s Parliament in the English Civil War.
If you do get the chance to visit, which is rare, have a look at the impressive ceiling. It was restored by Wren and has vaults and bosses which are intricately carved with letters and symbols. It’s mind-​boggling to think of someone creating them all those yeras ago.
