Vocabulary Starter
Read the below extract from the opening paragraph of Chapter Three
and write down the definitions of the highlighted words…

‘Jordan college was the grandest and richest of all the colleges in Oxford. It
was probably the largest too, though no one knew for certain. The buildings,
which were grouped around three irregular quadrangles, dated from every
period from the early Middle Ages to the mid-eighteenth century. It had never
been planned; it had grown piecemeal, with past and present overlapping at
every spot, and the final effect was one of jumbled and squalid grandeur.
Some part was always about to fall down, and for five generations the same
family, the Parslows, has been employed full-time by the College as masons
and scaffolders. The present Mr Parslow was teaching his son the craft; the two
of them and their three workmen would scramble like industrious termites
over the scaffolding they’d erected at the corner of the Library or over the roof
of the Chapel, and haul up bright new blocks of stone or rolls of shiny lead or
baulks of timber.
