Overview of your Oxford tour:

Oxford's scale allows a rare proximity to world class treasures in an intimate setting. Christchurch is a fine example. Founded in the era of Henry VIII, the pedigree of the site dates back to before the Norman Conquest when an Anglo Saxon princess founded a priory on the site. Thomas Wolsey's famous dining hall hosted Elizabeth I, Charles I 's parliament during the English Civil War, and latterly inspired JK Rowling in the creation of Harry Potter's famous school. Christchurch Alumni include CS Lewis, John Locke and 30 prime ministers. I am one of a limited number of Christchurch accredited guides. The college visit is followed by an entertaining and beautiful introduction to the university’s architectural highlights.

Your Oxford tour itinerary

Discover the architectural and literary wonders of Oxford Begin at Christchurch Memorial Garden and the Meadow, where Lewis Carroll once rowed with Alice Liddell—planting the seeds of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. In Christchurch visit the Great Hall, built by Cardinal Wolsey, lined with portraits of prime ministers and philosophers, and adorned with intricate stained glass. Stand at Bodley Tower, familiar to many as Harry Potter’s cinematic arrival at Hogwarts. The vast Tom Quad is overlooked by Sir Christopher Wren’s bell tower. the Cathedral highlights include: Norman and early Gothic architecture A pre-Reformation shrine 15th-century vaulted ceiling Cloisters and stained glass from medieval to modern The walk continues through Oxford’s historic heart: Radcliffe Square, the University Church, the Bodleian Library, Divinity School, and Sheldonian Theatre—a perfect introduction to Oxford’s rich past and inspiring present.
