The
circular Radcliffe Camera, completed in 1749, was conceived as a library
of science and medicine, but now holds works history and English literature
collections as part of the Bodleian Library. The library is not open to
the public. The ornate gates on the east of Radcliffe Square belong to
All Souls. The tower on the south side of the square belongs to the university
church of St Mary The Virgin, where Her Majesty the Queen attended a service
on 21 May, 1999.
