Christchurch is not known for its religious
 or racial diversity.  In 2011, the British
 Prime Minister said his alma matter’s
admission figures were “disgraceful”.
Christchurch in Oxford, England is both a cathedral
and a prestigious college, producing no less than
thirteen British Prime Ministers.

John Locke, the famed British philosopher,

In the mid 1800’s, Oxford had a famous math professor
by the name of Charles Dodgson.  His office was on the
 upper floor of this building.  He frequently looked
 out of his window to the grassy lawn where the dean’s little
 blond daughter would play, ducking in and out of the
 doorway and calling to a fat cat stuck in the tree.
  Her name? Alice.  His pen name?  Lewis Caroll.
