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.

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   Follow this link  to find out more and see how you can help
