This print by Katherine MacFee showcases the timeless beauty of Magdalen College in Oxfordshire. The focus of the image is on the old Grammar Hall and war memorial cross, located within St Johns Quad at Magdalen College. With its stunning architecture and rich history, this iconic building stands as a testament to both academic excellence and remembrance. The Grammar Hall, dating back to the 1920s, exudes an air of grandeur with its intricate details and imposing presence. It serves as a reminder of the college's prestigious past as a university college and grammar school. Adjacent to it stands a poignant war memorial cross, paying tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during times of conflict. Interestingly, this particular war memorial was relocated to Wheatley in the 1970s for reasons unknown. Nevertheless, its significance remains intact within this photograph - forever capturing a moment frozen in time. Katherine MacFee's expert composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in the historical ambiance that permeates every inch of Magdalen College's St Johns Quad. This print not only celebrates architectural splendor but also commemorates lives lost in service for their country.
