clarendon building

The Clarendon Building in Oxford, England, stands in the ceremonial center of the University of Oxford, near the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre. For many years it was the home of the Oxford University Press; today it is part of the Bodleian. The building was designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor (Christopher Wren's greatest pupil) and built (1711-1715) to house the Press's printing operations. (Before its construction the presses were in the basement of the Sheldonian Theatre, and the compositors could not work when the Theatre was in use for ceremonies.) The building was financed largely out of the proceeds of the commercially successful History of the Great Rebellion by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon.
