Nuffield College, founded by Lord Nuffield and to whom he left Nuffield Place when he died,  has decided to sell Nuffield Place   -  a unique example of a complete, furnished 1930's home of a great industrialist and benefactor, not only to the City of Oxford and to the University, but also to medicine and education on a national scale.

We are campaigning to save Nuffield Place for the nation  in  perpetuity for the enjoyment of future generations.

The house is now closed but discussions are on-going and the Friends are hopeful that a solution will be found to allow the House to re-open in the future.

The Save Nuffield Place Campaign has now been launched   Follow this link  to find out more and see how you can help
