St John's College was founded in 1511 from the estate of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII. The exterior of the gatehouse on St John's Street is beautifully carved and painted. The artist had fun with the design: look for marguerite daisies (a pun on the founder's name), a fox disappearing into its burrow and a statue of St John the Evangelist. A series of courtyards leads to the river straddled by the Bridge of Sighs, built in 1831 and named after its Venetian inspiration. Famous alumni include William Wordsworth, William Wilberforce, Douglas Adams, Jonathan Miller and Derek Jacobi. Admission: Between Easter and early November, adults £2.20, under-16s/OAPs £1.30, families £4.40
