Uncover Oxford’s Religious Roots on a Guided Walking Tour
The origins of Oxford are steeped in history, and the origins of Oxford University are steeped in religion. Starting life as monastery schools, the colleges that became Oxford University in the 1300s are inextricably linked with Christianity.
Follow our expert guide on this walking tour around the city and university and discover the history of Christianity within its walls.
From the Oxford Martyrs, to the Methodists and the Wesleyans, to C.S. Lewis and his religious allegorical stories; The Chronicles of Narnia, come and join us on a unique tour of Christianity within Oxford, touching on over a thousand years of how the church shaped the faith that we all know today.
Through the city’s famous landmarks such as the the Martyr’s Memorial, and Lincoln College, our guide will explain the impact of Christianity on the city and university, how it developed and influenced the students such as Tolkien and Wesley, and how it exists in the modern world today.
