	Radcliffe Camera
		The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford (England) was built by James Gibbs between 1737 and 1749 to house the Radcliffe Science Library.
		The building was funded by a £40,000 bequest from John Radcliffe, who died in 1714, and it was Nicholas Hawksmoor who came up with the idea of making the building round.
		After the Radcliffe Science Library eventually moved into another building, the Radcliffe Camera became a reading room of the Bodleian Library.

		The Radcliffe Camera, a large circular building with a lofty dome, was built by James Gibbs between 1737 and 1749 with money bequeathed by John Radcliffe (1650-1714), the famous physician, and was designed to house a library endowed by Radcliffe.
		The Camera itself was first lent to the Bodleian Curators and later, in 1927, the Trustees presented the freehold to the University.
		Beneath the lawn to the north is an underground book-store, built in 1912, connected with the Camera, and, by a subway, with the Old Library.

	Dan Radcliffe Online - Filmography - Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
		Radcliffe acquits himself well in two heartbreaking scenes and for the first time, he’s on an equal level with the distinguished adult cast.
		Radcliffe isn't an acting titan or even one of the Culkins, but you root for him nonetheless, partly because you want Harry to triumph and partly because there is something poignant about how this actor struggles alongside his character.
		Radcliffe's performance lacks the nuance and pathos the young actor demonstrated in The Prisoner Of Azkaban.

		The circular dome and drum of the Radcliffe Camera is one of the most distinctive landmarks in a city full of distinctive buildings.
		The Radcliffe Camera was intended to house a new library, and designs were called for from several leading architects, including Nicholas Hawksmoor (responsible for much of All Soul's College) and James Gibbs.
		Originally the library in the Radcliffe Camera held both scientific and general books, but those collections were gradually moved to other University libraries, so that today the Camera functions as the main reading room of the Bodleian Library.

	Largest ULF? - Large Format Photography Forum
		He pioneered the modern ultra-large camera idea in the early '80s, and the magazine article showed him with a field view camera that made a 30"x50" negative.
		The largest ULF camera was undoubtedly the famous Hossenpfeffer Camera created by Waldo Lydecker in 1876 to photograph the entire country of Ruritania.
		The camera was used only a few times since then (it was eventually dismantled and made into cattle pens and ships) and although the pictures are quite boring, they are definitely really really really big.

	Green College Oxford \| The Radcliffe Observatory
		The building functioned as an observatory for 160 years from 1773 until 1934, when the previous owners (the Radcliffe Trustees) decided to sell it and to erect a new observatory in Pretoria, South Africa, where the less polluted atmosphere would be suitable for the study of the southern hemisphere.
		The purchaser of the Radcliffe Observatory in 1934 was Lord Nuffield who presented it to the hospital authorities and in 1936 established the Nuffield Institute for Medical Research there.
		The Observatory was built with funds from the trustees of Dr. John Radcliffe (1652-1714) whose considerable estate had already financed a new quadrangle for his old College (University College, Oxford) as well as the Radcliffe Library (now the Radcliffe Camera, completed in 1749) and the Radcliffe Infirmary (1770).

		This library was named after the physician Dr. John Radcliff who left £40,000 toward the building and its endowment (though the building wasn't begun until 23 years after his death in 1714).
		Although Hawksmoor did a number of designs for the building--as a circular domed space, his death in 1736 opened the way for Gibbs, who was persuaded to give up his rectangular plan and to adopt Hawksmoor's plan.

	Fearful dons, 31/3/05
		The Radcliffe Camera, Oxford's iconic circular library, could be turned into a visitors' centre, dons fear.
		Perfectly circular, topped with a lofty dome and built in the Palladian style, it was opened in 1749 to house the science collections and library of John Radcliffe, the Royal physician, and later incorporated into the Bodleian Library.
		At the Camera, the lower reading room could be profitably converted into a cafe, while the upper, equipped with screens, might show continuous videos of the "Oxford Experience" to American tourists.
