We are delighted to see the careful relocation of the John Radcliffe statue successfully completed in partnership with Kingerlee and Hadingham Kirk.

At 04:00 on Saturday 14 February the statue was moved to its new location. The early morning move was a complex and meticulously planned operation, enabling work to progress on the south side of the Radcliffe Observatory with minimal disruption. 

We are grateful to the teams involved for their expertise and precision in handling such an important piece of the college’s heritage.

This project will introduce new access ramps and a thoughtfully redesigned landscape, creating a more welcoming and accessible setting that reflects the landscape opposite the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. 

We look forward to seeing this next phase take shape and to sharing further updates.
