Happy Fence Friday, All. This is the Clarendon Building in Oxford. It was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and built between 1711 and 1715. It's a Grade I listed building. It was built to house the Oxford University Press and owes its name to the fact that it was partly paid for by the profits from the History of the Great Rebellion by Lord Clarendon. Lord Clarendon's son presented the University with its copyright. It was known as “The Printing House” until the University Press moved to Walton Street in 1832.
