Through to the Bodleian
by Ray Rawlings

Sir Thomas Bodley founded the Bodleian Library in 1598. The Gate Tower, or Tower of the Five Orders, is a magnificent frontispiece on the east range of the Schools Quadrangle ornately decorated with grotesques and strapwork. The five superimposed orders of columns are Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite.
