Norham Manor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Norham Manor estate is a residential suburb in Oxford, England. It forms the prime part of central North Oxford. To the north is Park Town with its stylish crescents, to the east is the River Cherwell, to the south are the University Parks and to the west is Banbury Road, a major arterial road into Oxford.
The estate was developed in the 19th century on land owned by St John's College, Oxford. The houses are large and prestigious, many in Italianate and Gothic styles.
Lady Margaret Hall, one of Oxford University's former women-only colleges, lies to the west of Norman Manor at the end of Norham Gardens and on the River Cherwell. Further north is the Dragon School, a renowned private preparatory school.
