Oxford - Magdalen Tower / Muniment Tower / Founder's Tower

Magdalen Tower, in late Perpendicular style, was built between 1482 and 1504. Under the Muniment Tower is the entrance to the Chapel, where evensong is sung by the college's renowned choir during the University term. In the Founder's Tower are the state apartments, with early 16th century tapestries. The passage under this tower leads into the cloisters, with grotesque figures known as "hieroglyphs". Beyond the college stretches a deer park called the Grove. A bridge in the park leads over the Cherwell into the Water Walks, one of which is known as Addison's Walk. (The writer Joseph Addison (1672-1719) was a member of Magdalen, as were Oscar Wilde and King Edward VII.)
