Christ Church Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Oxford, England
Christ Church Cathedral features Norman and Gothic architectural elements, including a prominent rose window and substantial stone columns supporting vaulted ceilings.
The cathedral site began as a nunnery in the 8th century, transformed into an Augustinian priory by 1122, and became a cathedral under Henry VIII in 1546.
The cathedral maintains four active choirs and hosts regular musical performances, including daily Evensong services with professional singers and organists.
Visitors can access the cathedral through Tom Gate with a Parishioner Pass, while entry to the College and Great Hall requires separate admission tickets.
The cathedral serves both as the chapel of Christ Church College and the mother church of Oxford Diocese, making it the only building in England with this dual purpose.
