Historical Buildings in a Traditional English LandscapeThe campus of the University has been build in 'Whiteknights Park', acquired by the University in 1947. The Marquis of Blandford lived here in the late 18th century in a stately house and among famous gardens with exotic plants. The oldest buildings on the campus today date back to the late 19th century, when six prestigious homes were built, some by the famous architect Alfred Waterhouse. |
