New College, Oxford

[New College, the gardens]

On May 10th Anne and I spent a delightful day back at my old college – New College Oxford.

Paul under the New College wisteria – plus hat (it was hot!)

The gardens and grounds were looking as beautiful as ever.

New College refectory, guests assembling for lunch

It’s an annual event for donors (I’m giving them my organ book library) which always features a splendid lunch, a concert in Chapel, an exhibition of College treasures and manuscripts and a fine tea.

New College chapel, organ, lamp and stained glass during the pre-Evensong voluntary

The day ends – of course – with Choral Evensong.  The choir was on typically fine form.
