There seems to be a crest of sort on the gates. I thought that it resembled that for New College, Oxford but the buildings do not match.

There seems to be a lot of small stone crosses as finials - could it be a religious training place, or at least a school or college with a strong Christian input?

A seminary would account for the cloisters and the crosses.Looking for one...

john bunyan - Christian input occurred to me too but I'm stuck with the towers. Are they actually observatories?

The top of one is glazed, but is it an observatory? Many colleges have a Christian origin, so I still lean towards a University college, but have looked at most of Oxbridge with no exact matches

There seems to be a lozenge shapes coat of arms above an entrance, but Photoshop filters etc cannot enhance it enough to see it clearly.

Would agree with Christian, but I thought some of the features had a definite Moorish touch about them, just a hint.

I have seen similar features in British influenced areas of the Middle East.

The TV series on C4 from 1987:-

and

echo the architecture of Brumas's postcards.

There could be a figure holding an orb and sceptre above the door way in the second photo. There is a tall mast/flagpole on top of the building.
