Christchurch Oxford

Pete,

I was recently fortunate to spend a few days at a meeting at Christchurch College in Oxford.

Founded in 1546 by King Henry VIII, Christchurch is one of the largest and well-known colleges within the University of Oxford. Is an architecturally attractive building which is dominated by Tom Tower, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and which overlooks Tom Quad containing both the college chapel and great dining hall.

I am semi-retired after a career in medical sciences. I now work from home doing independent research and consultancy amongst other things. One advantage of this is that I do have time to indulge my interests including birdwatching, natural history, steam trains and history particularly ancient history.
