ON THIS DAY
in
Oxford
Anniversaries of the individuals that have made Oxford’s worldwide reputation. From the arts, the humanities and the sciences, there are writers, thinkers, Nobel Prize winners, Fields and Copley medalists, comedians and sports personalities, politicians – lots of politicians. They’ve discovered and invented, explored and identified. They have created laws and subverted our societies. Often they have produced something that has far outlived their own lives and in doing so have enriched our lives and changed our understanding of the world.
The list changes daily (obviously) so please bookmark the page or sign up for our weekly lists.
Say their names out loud, raise a glass …
