Signs, Symbols . . . & Secrets in the Archives of New College, Oxford

Come and explore the range of signs, symbols, and secrets in the extensive archive of New College, Oxford, going back now nearly a thousand years. This might take you into such as the range of marks, abbreviations, and signs used by our predecessors in their writing, or the symbolism of
heraldry and seals where an image was meant to represent an individual for those who could not read the writing, or the Bletchley Park-related work going on at New College in WW2.

Entrance is free
