Lightning Protection
Radcliffe Camera, whose dome gathers the surrounding spires and towers together like a hen and her chicks, was built in 1737-1749 from the munificence of Dr. John Radcliffe.
The Radcliffe Camera was designed as a library, and still serves that purpose. Its architect was James Gibbs, who was also responsible for two of London's finest 18th century churches, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and St. Mary-le-Strand.
