We begin at the Martyrs' Memorial, a landmark commemorating Protestant martyrs. Nearby the Anglo-Saxon Tower, Oxford’s oldest building, once served as a prison. Learn more about the origins and religious roots of Oxford. On Turl Street we find Exeter, Jesus, and Lincoln Colleges, each distinct. At St. Mary's University Church we learn about the Oxford Movement and pause near the spot that allegedly inspired C.S. Lewis' Narnia. Radcliffe Square is Oxford’s first science library and All Souls College. In the Old Schools Quad we discover the Bodleian Library and the grand fifteenth-century Divinity School, known from Harry Potter. If wished, I can organise a visit inside. Inside one of Oxford’s oldest colleges we find its tranquil gardens, chapel, and magnificent dining hall—rounding off an immersive journey through the city’s history.
