Oxford, the City of Dreaming Spires.
The above link does not now work try…
Welcome to Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, its skyline shaped by the golden stone buildings of the University with their spires, towers and domes. For over 900 years, Oxford has been a home to royalty and scholars, and since the 9th century an established town.

In Episode 3 of "The Baroque Tradition: From St. Peter's to St. Paul's" -- hosted by Waldemar Januszczak -- Dobson is highlighted as being Van Dyke's successor who has brought to life the participants of the first Civil War in Oxford for us. Januszczak gives us a brief tour of the city, showing us some of the remaining buildings, and describing their change of use during the time of King Charles I's court there.
I recommend watching the whole series!
