Summary

Description
English: Magdalen College School With only minor alterations, the school stands almost exactly as it did when the building was completed around the turn of the 16th century. The front, with its two octagonal towers is similar to Eton College, Tattershall Castle and Hampton Court Palace; William of Waynflete provides a connection between them all.

The exact date of the completion of the building is not known, but it is known from surviving documents that construction began in 1484.

Shortly after in 1968, the building opened as a public library, occupying the whole of the ground floor. In 1993, the first floor was given over to the Magdalen Museum, now a registered charity, displaying articles and artifacts of local and national interest.
