Description
The King's Cathedral: The Ancient Heart of Christ Church, Oxford
Established in 1546, this historic cathedral church is part of a unique joint foundation of cathedral and university college created by King Henry VIII. Today, it occupies the site of a monastery founded in the late seventh century by Frideswide, patron saint of Oxford and its university.
This fascinating study draws on scholarly research into the cathedral's archaeology, architecture and history to provide a new understanding of this historic building. Judith Curthoys, author of two previous volumes on Christ Church, brings her expertise to bear in this accessible and engaging account.
