Fix this textNO OTHER “HIGH STREET” COMPARES WITH “THE HIGH” OF OXFORD
Fix this textOXFORD, famed throughout the world as a seat of learning, has a crowded
Fix this texthistory which reaches back to the year 912, when it ranked with London
Fix this textas a place of some-importance. The foundation of the early Saxon settlement,
Fix this texthowever, goes back even further, to about a.o. 727, when, according to legend,
Fix this textSt. Frideswide established a church there. Its origin was due, also, to the
Fix this textfact that the upper reaches of the Thames were fordable for herds of oxen
Fix this textat the point where Oxford now stands. The early settlement suffered much
Fix this textfrom the raiding Danes, apd later, because of its strategic location, William
Fix this textthe Conqueror built a castle there, and around it grew a walled Norman town.
Fix this textDuring the Middle Ages the growth and history of Oxford were influenced
Fix this textby the coming of the Friars, whose store of learning and religious teaching
Fix this textattracted students from far and wide, and during the reign of King John
Fix this text(1199-1216) they numbered three thousand. It was from these early beginnings
Fix this textthat England's University City developed, and, as might be expected in a place
Fix this textwhose growth has been so gradual, the architectural styles of its ancient
Fix this textbuildings cover every period from Saxon times. The High Street, known the
Fix this textworld over as “The High.” is one of the finest architectural vistas in England.
Fix this textIn 1642, during the turbulent days of the Civil War, Charles I held his
Fix this textParliament at Oxford, and later defended the city as his headquarters, but in
Fix this text1646 the Royalist forces yielded to Fairfax.
Fix this textThe University consists of twenty-one colleges for men and four for
Fix this textwomen, and, in addition, there are numerous other educational institutions
Fix this textnot directly connected with the university. In recent years the majority of
Fix this textstudents have been, and are, “assisted,” and the University is now a place of
Fix this texteducation for those whose means arc limited.
Fix this textIn the Oxford of today antiquity and modernity exist side by side, for the
Fix this textdemands of twentieth century commerce are to b'e seen in the great motor-car
Fix this textworks and other modern industries for which the city has become famous.
