Corpus Christi College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford. Founded in 1517 by Richard Foxe, Bishop of Winchester, it is located on Merton Street, between Merton College and Christ Church. One of Oxford's smaller colleges, Corpus Christi is noted for its historic library, its role in the translation of the King James Version of the Bible, and its gardens overlooking Christ Church Meadow. Former students and fellows include Reginald Pole, John Keble, Isaiah Berlin, Vikram Seth, and politicians David and Ed Miliband. This photograph shows the college's main quadrangle, including the Pelican Sundial, which was erected in 1581 by Charles Turnbull.
