St Hugh’s occupies a rectangular site in North Oxford. It is bordered by Banbury Road to the east, Woodstock Road to the west, St... Margaret’s Road to the north and Canterbury Road to the south . The gardens of the college cover about ten and a half acres and have been described as the best of the Oxford colleges. St Hugh's was founded in 1886 by Elizabeth Wordsworth to help the growing number of women "who find the charges of the present Halls at Oxford and Cambridge beyond their means". Using money left to her by her father, who had been Bishop of Lincoln, she established the college at 25 Norham Road in North Oxford.
