Christ Church cathedral
Oxfordshire, Oxford OX1 1SR, UK
Description:
Christ Church Cathedral is the smallest cathedral in England and the residence of the Bishop of Oxford. The building, which has survived to our time, was founded in the 12th century by Augustinian monks and was called the Church of the Priory of St. Fridesvida.
In the cathedral there are many tombs, monuments and memorials. There is also a gallery in Christ Church. It is, however, small, but attractive for its content - numerous monuments, coats of arms and artistic carvings. It leads to the famous large hall where some scenes from the Harry Potter films were filmed.
A store located in a collegiate house is worth a visit, even if you have no desire to buy anything there. The ceiling is decorated with medallions with images of saints and angels and intricate carvings at the intersections of domes.
