Christ Church

Oxford University consists of 40 higher education schools, or institutions. But the Christ Church College is the largest. And it is indeed rare, because it's the headquarters of the Cathedral of Oxford. The Cathedral is within the university. Admission costs £ 6, but if you come there to pray or if you have another reason for not paying the entrance fee, you can talk to someone who will let you go in. The Christ Church was founded in the 12th century by King Henry VIII. The site of the cathedral has been a place of worship since the 8th century. The present cathedral is from the 13th century and it replaced an old Saxon church.

Christ Church College is one of many schools that comprises the prestigious Oxford University. It is one of the most famous and most elite, formed over the centuries. It is one of the largest schools in Oxford and is within the cathedral of the diocese of the city. Christ Church has always been one of the schools for nobles and aristocrats, the gilded youth of the capital came to study at Oxford and were enrolled in Christ Church. There have been 25 Oxford-educated prime ministers, 13 out of Christ Church. This includes William Petty, Primrose, Sir Robert Peel and Douglas-Home.
