Oxford - Sheldonian, Divinity school, Christchurch cathedral, "the Bear" Inn

 The Sheldonian Theatre is where they give out the degrees in Oxford university. It is built in the style of a Roman theatre. On the inside3 of the done there is a picture with angels and the gorgon falling out.     We climbed to the dome. I took pictures of Oxford. 




This is the School of Divinity. It was one of the first building built as a lecture room for the university. In Harry Potter the infirmary and the ball were filmed here.














New fountain to show praise to God
This is Christchurch College and cathedral. We saw the Tomb of Saint Frideswild who founded Oxford.
Carves choir stalls
To honour that the Wesley preached here 
The Bishop who argued with Huxley over evolution.

The Easter Garden to show new life.
We had lunch in the Bear Pub. The pub has been here since the 13 Century. The ceiling in very low.
