Headington Hill Hall

The three trustees tried to deal with Emily's crush on a distant cousin by sending her away to an aunt and forbidding any communication between the pair.

[4] Lady Ottoline Morrell (1873–1938), who owned the Hall for a period,[citation needed] was particularly associated with the Bloomsbury Group as a hostess.

[5] In 1953, James Morrell III sold Headington Hill Hall to Oxford City Council.

[5] Subsequently, the publisher Robert Maxwell (1923–1991), founder of Pergamon Press, took a lease of the building rented from the Council for 32 years as a residence and offices.

"[6] Maxwell commissioned a stained-glass window depicting Samson at the Gates of Gaza by Israeli sculptor Nehemia Azaz for the imperial staircase.
