Jowett Walk takes its name from Benjamin Jowett (1817-1893), the Master of Balliol College (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Jowett ), and along the north (right-hand) side of it lies the Balliol College sports ground. Dorothy L. Sayers, in "Gaudy Night" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaudy_Night ), places Shrewsbury College - a thinly-disguised version of Somerville, her own alma mater - on that sports ground.
