Christ Church College Christ Church College No Data

Description


Originally built by Thomas Wolsey as Cardinal College on the site of the former Priory of St Frideswide, the college was re-founded by Henry VIII as Christ Church College after Thomas fell out of favour. Despite that, many of the plans for the stunning buildings were retained and completed, albeit taking a couple of hundred years. The Grand Hall is one of the finest dining halls in the country and was used as the model for the hall in the Harry Potter movies, as well as featuring in many other films and TV programmes. Depending on the time of year parts of the College may be closed to visitors
