Reverse side I've had this for quite awhile and really don't know much about it. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Nice medal but it has nothing to do with Oxford. The university there does indeed have a “Worsley Hall”, but the building depicted is the Worsley Hall stately home (now demolished) adjacent to the Bridgewater Canal near Manchester.

The date on the medal says “Oct 9 & 10 1851” which is when Queen Victoria and Prince Albert made a visit (staying at the hall between 9-11 October) accompanied by the Duke of Wellington. They arrived by canal in a specially-built barge (depicted on the medal) and there was then a royal procession with a cavalry escort. The medal is one of many commemorating the occasion… the first royal visit to the area for 150 years.
