A wonderful time of song & merriment was had by all in hall following dinner this evening at Brasenose College. #BrasenoseCollege #AleVerses #ShroveTuesday
A fantastic time was had by all. Thanks to Dr George Owers for delivering the 2026 Runcie Sermon last Sunday.
This Sunday in Brasenose College chapel at 6.00pm we welcome Dr George Owers as our preacher for the 2026 Runcie Sermon at Choral Evensong. If you are in #Oxford this Sunday you are welcome to attend.
Lovely to cross the square and celebrate the Holy Eucharist in @hertfordcollege.bsky.social chapel this evening. Thanks to the choir & organ scholars.

THE EPIPHANY O GOD, who by the leading of a star didst manifest thy only-begotten Son to the Gentiles: Mercifully grant, that we, which know thee now by faith, may after this life have the fruition of thy glorious Godhead; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Adoration of the Magi, 2018, Khrystyna Kvyk

A beautiful sky and a gloriously quiet Radcliffe Square. Taken early in the morning before the summer tourist rush. Even after a couple of years I still have to pinch myself occasionally that this where I work.

84 years ago, 14 August 1941, #MaximilianKolbe died in Auschwitz. The deputy camp commander picked 10 men to be starved to death in an underground bunker to deter further escape attempts. When one of the men cried out ‘My wife! My children!’ Kolbe volunteered to take his place.
Very much looking forward to the next few days attending this conference at Pusey House,Oxford. #restoringtheimage
An energy filled Oxford Pride March 2025 which even the rain could not dampen. Good to walk with friends & colleagues. The route was in reverse this year, ending rather conveniently in front of Brasenose. #OxfordPride2025 🏳️🌈 #BrasenoseCollege #UniversityOfOxford
Ascension Day eccentricities in Oxford at Brasenose & Lincoln colleges. Beating the bounds, Ivy Ale, and Madrigals. The main college site is half in the parish of the University Church of SMV & half in the parish of SMNG. We crowned the day with a Choral Mass with the joint choirs of both chapels.
Ascension Day - if you are in Oxford this evening please do come along at 6.00pm for our Choral Eucharist. A joint service with Lincoln College.
