Merton College, Oxford University
I'm thinking this is likely to be St. Alban's Quadrangle. That being the case it is of 13th Century origin incorporated into Merton College in 1882.
I remember the occasion very well :-))

From a College information leaflet -
"Merton College is one of the oldest Foundations in the University of Oxford. In 1264 Walter de Merton, Chancellor of England and Bishop of Rochester, established Merton as the first College; a self-governing corporate community with a Warden at its head. The buildings and communal spaces that made up Merton College reflect the activities of Tutors and the Students living, eating, studying and worshipping together. Although many of these buildings are now historic they continue to be used daily."

p.s. I don't very often think to look at my photos on black but I think this one actually looks a little better on black :-)
