Oxford houses the Bodleian Library and the Ashmolean Museum of Art and 
Archaeology. The Oxford University Press, established in 1478, is one of the largest 
and most prestigious university publishers in the world.

from John Wesley and Cardinal Wolsey to Oscar Wilde and Sir Richard Burton to 
Cecil Rhodes and Sir Walter Raleigh. The astronomer Edmond Halley studied at Ox-
ford, and the physicist Robert Boyle performed his most important research there.

ning, Sir Robert Peel, William Gladstone, Lord Salisbury, H.H. Asquith, Clement At-
