Christ Church (Latin: Aedes Christi, Temple or House of Christ, sometimes referred to as The House) is one of the largest constituent colleges of Oxford University in England. Apart from being a college, Christ Church ("Church of Christ") is also a church of the diocese of Oxford, namely Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford. The cathedral has a famous choir of men and boys, and is a major choral foundations in Oxford. It was founded as the Priory of St Frideswide, Oxford, who was a house of Augustine canons, which was later deleted as a monastic church under the Dissolution of the Monasteries by Henry VIII. The Church is christ established since 1546.
Christ Church taught first thirteen British prime ministers (the two most recent: Anthony Eden, 1955-1957, and Sir Alec Douglas-Home, 1963-1964), which is more than any other college in Oxford or Cambridge.
The college is the setting for part of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, as well as Lewis Carroll called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. More recently it has been used in the filming of the movie series by JK Rowling Harry Potter and also the film adaptation of Philip Pullman's novel Northern Lights or The Golden Compass. Among the features distinctive architecture in college, they have been used as models for a variety of other academic institutions, including the National University of Ireland, Galway, who played the Tom Quad.
The University of Chicago and Cornell University both have reproductions of the dining hall of Christ Church (in the form of Hutchinson Risley Hall and refectory, respectively). Christ Church Cathedral, New Zealand, due to which the city of Christchurch has the name comes from the name of Christ Church, Oxford. The windows in the cathedral and other buildings are the Pre-Raphaelite William Morris with drawings by Edward Burne-Jones.
Christ Church is also partly responsible for the creation of University College Reading, which later gained its own Royal Charter and became at the University of Reading.
