Radcliffe, the son of an attorney, was born at Wakefield, Yorkshire in 1652.
After Dr Radcliffe died, the College of Heralds refused to accept his alleged relationship and forbade the Derwentwater arms being displayed on any buildings erected from his estate but Oxford University paid not the slightest heed to their order and the arms appear on several buildings in the city.
Until 1885, the Radcliffe Infirmary was a university institution, governed by university officers and often staffed by Fellows of the colleges.

On 30 November 1770 the Bishop of Oxford consecrated the Radcliffe Infirmary's burial ground (long since buried itself), and the congregation prayed that it might be the 'only useless part of the Establishment'.
In 1919 the Infirmary purchased the Manor House estate, on which the John Radcliffe Hospital was eventually to be built.
In 1989 the Radcliffe Infirmary was one of three hospitals in the country used for the Electronic Data Exchange pilot scheme which allowed hospitals to order ward supplies directly from the manufacturer.

 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).

In Jericho she was a mother (to Tom and Leon), in the Infirmary she was an amazingly good medical secretary (to, among others, her partner Richard Peto) and on holiday in Greece she was free.
Gale was a lovely, warm, neighbourly person, who had a lot of friends, particularly in Jericho and in the Infirmary, but she would have been amazed at the effect her death had on so many people.
More than 300 attended a celebration of her life on October 2 in Freuds, where there were many affectionate tributes and stories from family, friends, neighbours and colleagues (one of whom said later that this was the only funeral she’d been to where the past smiled on the present).

 Manor Ground: Why hospitals
When the Radcliffe Infirmary opened in 1770, its five-acre site off the road to Woodstock was in a rural setting well outside the city boundary.
But when there was a proposal in the 1820s to build a sister institution, the Oxford Lunatic Asylum, the area around the Infirmary was no longer so isolated, and it was probably for this reason that it was built in the countryside off Old Road, well away from Headington's populated areas.
The third phase, which will involve the complete closure of the original Radcliffe Infirmary, is due to take place by the year 2004.
