12 Apr 2025 – Oxford

Trip Details

The first stop on this trip is Christ Church College, located in the heart of the city centre and is one of Oxford University’s largest colleges. Many well-known people have been educated at the college including scientists, historians, politicians, sports people, lawyers and authors. Alice in Wonderland was written here by 19th Century mathematics Tutor Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and the architecture, people and way of life at Christ Church have also inspired film-makers, making many of its buildings and interiors famous around the world. Christ Church’s college chapel is also the Cathedral Church for the Diocese of Oxford. The Cathedral was built in the twelfth century and contains the shrine and tomb of St Frideswide, Oxford’s patron saint.

Following our Christ Church College visit, discover Oxford’s iconic landmarks while uncovering the city’s diverse and complex past on our Oxford City walking tour. This must-see tour of Oxford’s city centre is the perfect introduction to the city’s rich history, offering a deep dive into the historical narratives that have shaped both the university and the city itself. Explore stories of empire, race, class, and gender, and learn how these themes continue to influence our modern world. Led by knowledgeable University researchers, the walking tour combines expert insight with engaging storytelling, making it both educational and entertaining.
