Hertford College ( / ˈhɑːrtfərd / HART-fərd ), previously known as Magdalen Hall, is a constituent college of the University of Oxford [3] in England. It is located on Catte Street in the centre of Oxford, directly opposite the main gate to the Bodleian Library. The college is known for its iconic bridge, the Bridge of Sighs.
The college succeeded a university hall called Magdalen Hall, founded by Waynflete in 1448, and from which the college drew most of its earliest scholars. Magdalen Hall was suppressed when the college was founded.

Led by Principal Macbride, Magdalen Hall took possession of the Hertford College site in 1822 upon the completion of two new wings fronting Catte Street (the front of OB1 and the Old Lodgings). With Magdalen Hall came its remarkable library of rare books, previously housed in the Old Library and now in the Old Lodgings' Henry Wilkinson Room.
