Members of seminars and classes scheduled to be held in these rooms who might find it difficult to access them should contact either the organiser of the seminar or lecture or the Domestic Bursar as soon as possible so that the feasibility of using alternative venues within the College can be investigated.
Wharton Room
Access involves three steps but ramps can be put down on request. Arrangements can also be made for the gate on Catte Street to be opened where this would ease access for seminar participants. The Wharton Room is also fitted with an induction loop. Libraryaccess involves one step. A temporary ramp, with which College staff assistance will be required, is stored near the Catte Street entrance. Readers should contact the Library on 01865 279318.

All Souls College is one of the colleges at the University of Oxford, but it’s a bit different from the others. Founded by King Henry VI, this college stands out because it doesn’t have any undergraduate students—just fellows, who are basically the members of the college.
The College of All Souls of the Faithful Departed, of Oxford, was founded by Henry VI and Henry Chichele (fellow of New College and Archbishop of Canterbury), on 20 May 1438. Today the College is primarily an academic research institution at the University of Oxford, having strong ties to the public domain.
All Souls College is situated in the High-street, westward of Queen’s College. Over the gateway are the statues of the founder, Henry Chichele, and Henry VI. The first or old court is a decent Gothic edifice, one hundred and twenty-four feet in length and seventy-two in breadth.
