Historical Interest
On the North Downs east of the village is a crown (hill figure) carved in the chalk by students in 1902 to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII. Several of the older college buildings, such as the Latin School or the Parlour, date from the fifteenth century and the main college buildings are set amidst cloistered quadrangles and gardens. They are protected by a Grade I listing.

Famous quotes related to historical interest:
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
