Join Dr Simon Bradley, architectural historian, expert on the buildings of Oxford and the editor of the Pevsner guide to the buildings of Oxford and South-East Oxfordshire as he is 'in conversation' with OPT Chairman William Whyte.

The newly updated Pevsner guide addresses half a century of change and development since the previous edition, including a wealth of ambitious new buildings for the University of Oxford and its colleges. Familiar buildings such as the Bodleian Library and the Radcliffe Camera are reinterpreted, and the many renovations and extensions are described and assessed. Oxford’s commercial buildings, suburbs, and houses are also explored in depth, some for the first time. The county area extends from the outskirts of Oxford to Henley-on-Thames, following the historic Thameside boundary of Oxfordshire and taking in the hills of the southern Chilterns.
