Putting Oxford on the Map – from Gough to Google

John Leighfield, OW, has had a passion for maps since his schooldays and will discuss, in a highly illustrated talk, how the maps of Oxford have developed from the 14th century until the present – with a small diversion to meet the Russians.

This lecture is part of the Oxford Festival of the Arts.Now in its ninth year, the Festival is a two-week celebration of culture and creativity in venues throughout Oxford and runs to 8 July 2017.

Aiming to offer opportunities in the arts for Oxford’s diverse communities, the Festival programme presents an exciting array of events, with a colourful mix of music, literature, theatre, art, speaker events, tours, comedy, workshops and much more.
