Building
Founded as Cardinal College in 1524, Christ Church took over the site of St Frideswide's Monastery which dated back to the 9th century. After 1546 Henry VIII appointed the old monastery church as Oxford's Cathedral. It is a Romanesque gem, being constructed at the end of the 12th century and surviving the dissolution. Great Tom, the 1682 bell tower was designed by Sir Christopher Wren.
