Oversikt

Som et av de eldste universitetene ved Oxford University, grunnlagt i 1263, Balliol ligger i hjertet av Oxford, i Broad Street, ideelt plassert for å besøke universitetet, høyskolene, museene, teatrene eller bare for shopping.

Standardrom er tilgjengelige på hovedområdet til høyskolen, i bygninger som er fra 1720 til 1968, og som ble bygget av Henry Keene (1759), Basevi (1826), Warren (1915), Salvin (1853) og Beard (1968).

Rommene med eget bad på Jowett Walk, 5 minutters gange fra hovedområdet til høyskolen, ble bygget mellom 1996 og 2005 på Master's Field (idrettsplassen). Arkitekten var Sir Richard MacCormac.

Alle rommene brukes av studenter i løpet av semesteret. De er ikke utstyrt til en femstjerners standard, men er utstyrt med sengetøy, håndklær, en velkomstpakke og te- og kaffekoker.

Overnattingsstedet tilbyr muligheten til å oppleve et opphold på et av Oxfords eldste høyskoler i rom fulle av historie, bygget rundt Garden Quad, eller idrettsbanen. Disse rommene har vært brukt av kjente gamle medlemmer, inkludert statsministrene Harold Macmillan, Herbert Asquith og Edward Heath, poeten Matthew Arnold og forfatteren Graham Greene.

Din Scout (rengjøringspersonell) vil rengjøre rommet ditt daglig. Boligen har sentralvarme, og de fleste radiatorene kan styres individuelt ved hjelp av termostatkontrollen.

En guide til høyskolen er tilgjengelig fra Porters' Lodge.

Historie

Balliol College is one of the oldest Colleges in Oxford.  About 1260, or perhaps a few years before, John de Balliol, the powerful Lord of Barnard Castle, was involved in a territorial dispute with Walter Kirkham, Bishop of Durham.  Balliol, impatient, insulted the Bishop, who imposed a penance on him.

According to the Chroniclers, he had to submit to a public whipping at Durham Cathedral door, and he was also required to carry out a substantial act of charity.  This he did by renting a house just outside the Oxford town wall, and maintain in it some poor scholars to whom he paid a dole of a few pence a week.

The House stood roughly where the present Master's Lodgings are, looking across Horsemonger Street, now Broad Street, and the ditch or moat to the city wall. The date of this is traditionally reckoned as 1263.

When John Balliol died in 1269, his widow Dervorguilla took on the role of Patroness with enthusiasm and generosity.  She continued to give financial support, put the arrangements on a permanent basis by the formulation of statutes (1282) and gave the Scholars a house "New Balliol Hall" sited near where the present Chapel is.  In 1284 there were sixteen Scholars or Fellows.

It was during the 19th Century that Balliol rose to prominence by vigorously promoting university reform and above all by pursuing academic excellence in a liberal environment at the instigation of John Parsons who was Master from 1798 - 1819. Successive Masters continued this pursuit of excellence including the charismatic Benjamin Jowett, after whom the newest accommodation is named.
