  • A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD
    A Brief History of Christ Church MEDIEVAL PERIOD Christ Church was founded in 1546, and there had been a college here since 1525, but prior to the Dissolution of the monasteries, the site was occupied by a priory dedicated to the memory of St Frideswide, the patron saint of both university and city. St Frideswide, a noble Saxon lady, founded a nunnery for herself as head and for twelve more noble virgin ladies sometime towards the end of the seventh century. She was, however, pursued by Algar, prince of Leicester, for her hand in marriage. She refused his frequent approaches which became more and more desperate. Frideswide and her ladies, forewarned miraculously of yet another attempt by Algar, fled up river to hide. She stayed away some years, settling at Binsey, where she performed healing miracles. On returning to Oxford, Frideswide found that Algar was as persistent as ever, laying siege to the town in order to capture his bride. Frideswide called down blindness on Algar who eventually repented of his ways, and left Frideswide to her devotions. Frideswide died in about 737, and was canonised in 1480. Long before this, though, pilgrims came to her shrine in the priory church which was now populated by Augustinian canons. Nothing remains of Frideswide’s nunnery, and little - just a few stones - of the Saxon church but the cathedral and the buildings around the cloister are the oldest on the site. Her story is pictured in cartoon form by Burne-Jones in one of the windows in the cathedral. One of the gifts made to the priory was the meadow between Christ Church and the Thames and Cherwell rivers; Lady Montacute gave the land to maintain her chantry which lay in the Lady Chapel close to St Frideswide’s shrine.

The interest with which I have read his pages will I am sure be shared by all who have at heart the well-being of an Institution which occupies a unique place in English history, although happily there is not anything unique nowadays in the endeavour which the Magdalen Hospital makes in face of a gigantic evil. The story Mr. Compston tells gives abundant evidence of the change for the better in public opinion regarding this crying wrong and its remedy. It shows too the growth of a sounder judg- ment as to the methods of dealing with it. For every reason it is right that this book should have been written, and Mr.

  • 'She Enclosed & Decorated This Hall on the Advice of John Ruskin': Pauline
    ‘She enclosed & decorated this hall on the advice of John Ruskin’: Pauline, Lady Trevelyan and the creation of Wallington Hall’s Central Hall Lucy West Introduction On 13 May 1866 in a quiet bedroom in Neuchâtel, Switzerland – far from her home of Wallington Hall, Northumberland – Pauline Jermyn Trevelyan (née Paulina Jermyn Jermyn; 1816-1866) (Fig. 1)* took her last breath. At her bedside were her husband, who was the eminent naturalist and geologist Sir Walter Calverley Trevelyan (1797-1879), and John Ruskin (1819-1900), their trusted travel companion who was ‘with her and Sir Walter to the last’.1 Ruskin had been a continual presence in Pauline’s life from their first meeting around 1843, becoming her drawing teacher from 1847 and whom she referred to as her ‘Master’.2 Their relationship was one characterized by mutual respect afforded by Pauline’s privileged aristocratic and intellectual status. Indeed, their correspondence even reveals a certain level of dependency on Ruskin’s part. He would frequently ask Pauline’s trusted advice on subjects such as the names of flowers, a gap in his knowledge of which Ruskin was conscious: ‘I am making some studies of plants for architectural purposes in which I again want some help from you for I have no one of whom I can ask the name of the commonest plants – or rather, I am ashamed to ask their names … ’.3 This article examines afresh how the intellectual and artistic association between Pauline and Ruskin affected the enclosing and decoration of the central hall (Fig. 2) at the Trevelyan residence of Wallington Hall.
