Christ Church Cathedral is a cathedral of the Church of England in Oxford, England. It is the seat of the bishop of Oxford and the principal church of the Diocese of Oxford. It is also the chapel of Christ Church, one of the colleges of the University of Oxford; this dual role is unique in the Church of England. The first church on the site was a nunnery and parish church that was burnt during the St Brice's Day massacre in 1002; it was re-founded as a priory of Augustinian canons by 1122. This was suppressed in 1524 by Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who intended to demolish the church in order to found a new college on the site. After Wolsey fell from favour in 1529, the project was taken over by Henry VIII, who preserved the church. When the Diocese of Oxford was created in 1542, its cathedral was the former Osney Abbey, which was supplanted by Christ Church in 1546. This picture shows the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, looking east towards the altar.Photograph credit: David Iliff
