Fix this textr pHE colleges and the churches of
Fix this text-*■ Oxford, together with a few domestic
Fix this textbuildings, provide a magnificent record of
Fix this textarchitectural development in England from
Fix this textSaxon times. Here may be seen the main
Fix this textcharacteristics of the various styles from
Fix this textNorman to Perpendicular which were
Fix this textgradually evolved from the eleventh
Fix this textto the sixteenth century, lingering well
Fix this textinto the seventeenth, long after the
Fix this textRenaissance had destroyed the last traces
Fix this textof the Gothic spirit on the Continent of
Fix this textEurope.
Fix this textThe largest and richest of the
Fix this textUniversity’s twenty-eight colleges is Christ
Fix this textChurch, usually known as “The House.”
Fix this textIt was founded in 1525 by Cardinal
Fix this textWolsey and at that time bore the name of
Fix this textCardinal College. In 1532, however, it
Fix this textwas taken over by Henry VIII and
Fix this textestablished in 1546 as Christ Church.
Fix this textThe enormous kitchen remains in
Fix this textappearance very much as it did in Wolsey’s
Fix this texttime, except fot the addition of modern
Fix this textculinary contrivances. Nearby is the
Fix this textmagnificent Hall with its finely carved
Fix this textoak-beam roof, shown in the accom-
Fix this textpanying illustration. The spacious Hall,
Fix this textpart of which was completed by Wolsey,
Fix this textwas the scene of many royal banquets in
Fix this textthe reigns of Henry VIII and of Charles I.
Fix this textIt is renowned not only for being the
Fix this textlargest and finest of its kind in Oxford, but
Fix this textalso for its valuable collection of famous
Fix this textpictures by such artists as Reynolds, Lely,
Fix this textRomney and Millais. Here can be seen
Fix this textportraits of John Wesley, Gladstone and
Fix this textof Charles Dodgson, better known as
Fix this textLewis Carroll —the author of “Alice in
Fix this textWonderland.” He was a clergyman and,
Fix this textas a resident member of an Oxford
Fix this textCollege, he lectured on mathematics.
Fix this textBesides being the author of the most
Fix this texthumorous and delightful children’s book
Fix this textever produced, he wrote, strangely
Fix this textenough, numerous works on mathematics.
Fix this textQueen Victoria was so delighted with
Fix this text“Alice in Wonderland” that she requested
Fix this textfuture works by the same author should
Fix this textbe sent to her. The next publication to
Fix this textappear was “The Condensation of Deter-
Fix this textminants”—the Queen’s comments are not
Fix this textrecorded!
Fix this textCardinal Wolsey, who is so intimately
Fix this textassociated with Christ Church College, is
Fix this textcommemorated by a statue which stands
Fix this textover the main entrance. Surmounting
Fix this textthe ornate gateway, completed by Sir
Fix this textChristopher Wren in 1682, is Tom Tower
Fix this textin which hangs the famous 7-ton bell,
Fix this textGreat Tom. Every night at five minutes
Fix this textpast nine its mellow tones give the signal
Fix this textfor the closing of college gates throughout
Fix this textOxford.
