The XML Summer School is held annually at Wadham College, University of Oxford. The venue is ideally situated close to Oxford city centre, making it easily accessible for delegates.
Wadham College was founded in 1612 according to the terms of the will of Nicholas Wadham, who died in 1609. It is situated within six acres of beautiful grounds in the heart of Oxford.
The hall at Wadham is one of the largest in Oxford, and is notable for its great hammer-beam roof and for the Jacobean woodwork of the entrance screen. The portraits include the founders and distinguished members of the college. Notable members of the college in its early years include Robert Blake, Cromwell's admiral and founder of British sea-power in the Mediterranean, and Sir Christopher Wren.
