Ecclesiastical joke
Turl Street is referred to in an obscure ecclesiastical joke, based on its location, viz: "The Church of England is like Turl Street in Oxford; it runs from the High to the Broad going past Jesus on the way." The Church of England is the officially established Christian church in England, and acts as the mother and senior branch of the worldwide Anglican Communion, as well as a founding member of the Porvoo Communion. ... High Church is a term that may now be used in speaking of viewpoints within a number of denominations of Protestant Christianity in general, but it is one which has traditionally been employed in Churches associated with the Anglican tradition in particular. ...

Jesus College (in full: Jesus College in the University of Oxford of Queen Elizabeth's Foundation) is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom.
Jesus College was founded in 1571, occupying in part the site of the earlier White Hall, which had been in existence for several hundred years from the 13th century up until 1570, just before Jesus began.
Jesus is located in the centre of Oxford on TurlStreet on a comparatively small site by the standards of many Oxford colleges, and is one of the three TurlStreet colleges along with Lincoln College and Exeter College.
