The Rad Cam, also known as the “heart of Oxford”, was designed by James Gibbs built between 1737 and 1749 with £40,000 founded by Dr John Radcliffe upon his death in 1714. Radcliffe, the most successful physician in England, began to explore the idea of a library about two years before his death.
The square is considered one of the most beautiful in the university and is often used as the setting for films due to the fact that there are no modern buildings in sight. The square is named after one of the university donors and former students, John Radcliffe (1652-1714) who became the King’s doctor.
