Christ Church. It provides access to many of the college boat houses which are on an island at the confluence of the two rivers. The lower sections of the meadow, close to the Thames, are grazed by cattle, while the upper sections have sports fields.
Christ Church Meadow is private property, but access is permitted during the day. Access starts very early because of rowers' need to access the boat houses.
Oxford is a university city in Oxfordshire England, which has a population of around 110,000.
During the English Civil War in the 17th century, Oxford became the headquarters of king Charles I and his court in 1642, after the king was expelled from London, although there was strong support in the town for the Parliamentarian cause.
By the early 20th century Oxford was experiencing rapid industrial and population growth, with the printing and publishing industries becoming well established by the 1920s.
The prestige of Oxford is seen in the fact that it received a charter from King Henry II, granting its citizens the same privileges and exemptions as those enjoyed by the capital of the kingdom; and various important religious houses were founded in or near the city.
Oxford's Town Hall was built by Henry T. Hare, the foundation stone was laid on 6 July 1893 and opened by the future King Edward VII on 12 May 1897.
Oxford is located some 55 miles (90 Km) north west of London and 70 miles (110 Km) south east of Birmingham, and the M40 motorway between London and Birmingham passes within seven miles of Oxford.
