Founders Tower
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Founders Tower is a tower in Magdalen College, Oxford, England.
It is the second highest tower in the college, after the Great Tower. It is very slightly taller than St Swithun's Tower, which faces it across St John's Quad.
The tower houses the entrance to the Old Law Library, and sits above the main entrance to the Cloisters. There are very nice views of the college from the top of it, but alas even college members can only rarely go up.
