    Engagement with the communities of Oxford and Oxfordshire Did you know? St Giles’ Fair began as the parish feast of St Giles, first recorded in 1624. From the 1780s it became a toy fair, with general amusements for children. In the next century its focus shifted towards adults, with entertainment, rides and stalls. In the late 1800s there were calls for the fair to be stopped on the grounds that it encouraged rowdy behaviour. During Victorian times engineering advances brought the forerunners of today’s rides. Today the huge pieces of machinery fill St Giles’ with sparkling lights for a few days each year, and whizz within feet of ancient college buildings. The stone heads around the Sheldonian Theatre now number thirteen (there were originally fourteen, but one was removed to make way for the adjoining Clarendon Building.) It is not known what they were intended to represent – they might be gods, wise men, emperors or just boundary markers. The original heads were made by William Byrd and put up in 1669. Did you Replacements put up in 1868 were made in poor stone, know? which crumbled away; in 1972 the current set, carved by Michael Black of Oxford, were erected.

  • 9 Protestant Place, Protestant Props in the Plays of Nicholas Grimald Elisabeth Dutton
    9 Protestant place, Protestant props in the plays of Nicholas Grimald Elisabeth Dutton Early in the English Reformation the churchman, historian, con- troversialist, and Protestant convert John Bale (1495–1563), recognis- ing the evangelical potential of theatre, set about harnessing it to the Protestant cause. His work is concerned not just with the ideas that might be presented in a Reforming play, but also with the manner in which a Protestant play sets up those ideas for perfor- mance, through material objects in time and space. In this chapter I will explore some of the ways that Reforming playwrights deploy these realities theatrically; in other words, considering ‘objects’ as props, and ‘time and space’ as the duration of the play and the space of its performance, I will explore how these dramaturgical phenomena are deployed by Reforming playwrights to present an argument about the same phenomena in the world beyond the play as understood in Protestant theology. I will focus on Bale and his friend the poet and dramatist Nicholas Grimald (1519–62), whose Protestant playwriting took place while he was a student at Oxford. Two of Grimald’s plays survive: the Latin scriptural dramas Christus Redivivus, a Resurrection narrative that was performed at Brasenose College in 1541, and Archipropheta, the John the Baptist story, that was staged at Christ Church in 1548.1 I will also allude to Andreas Höfele’s study of the comedy Christus Triumphans, by another of Bale’s friends, the historian and martyrologist John Foxe (1516/17–87): Foxe’s play was performed at Magdalen College, Oxford in 1561–62, and Bale’s Three Laws may also have been performed at Magdalen around the same time.2 Protestant writers sought to demonstrate that they were the true heirs of the early Church, revealing it in its first, pure, state, while also demonstrating that contemporary corrupt Catholic practices were both survivals of superseded Jewish practice from before the time of Christ and signs of the approaching end times.

  • Oxford Colleges
    Oxford colleges Oxford University is made up of different colleges. Colleges are academic communities. They are where students usually have their tutorials. Each one has its own dining hall, bar, common room and library, and lots of college groups and societies. All undergraduate students at Oxford become members of a college. Depending on your course choice, the number of colleges and halls available to you may vary (see pp 126–127). You will also be a member of the wider University.
