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.
The
sale will take place after the last public opening in September 2008. We
are campaigning to purchase
Nuffield Place and save it for the nation in perpetuity
for the enjoyment of future generations.
The
Save Nuffield Place Campaign has now been launched
