Important Note: New Booking Arrangement for Accomodation In previous years, accommodation has been booked by Mrs Frost on behalf of Oxford Conference Management. At the last conference, however, many delegates found it cheaper to book their rooms through websites (chiefly University Rooms), and it has therefore been decided that Oxford Conference Management will no longer take on this task. This measure will help to keep the costs for delegates as low as possible. Anyone wishing to stay in one of the Patristics' listed colleges you need to 1. Go to the individual colleges website and book your accomodation: a. Brasenose: b. Christ Church: c. Keble College: d.

The colleges themselves to not accept individual bookings from delegates. Christ Church Christ Church was originally founded by Cardinal Wolsey as Cardinal College in 1524. The college buildings took over the site of St. Frideswide's Monastery, which was suppressed by Wolsey to fund his college The monastery dated back to the earliest days of Oxford as a settlement in the 9th Century AD. When Wolsey fell from power in 1529 the College became the property of King Henry VIII. Henry re-founded the College in 1546 and appointed the old monastery church as cathedral of the new diocese of Oxford. The new institution of cathedral and university college was named Aedes Christi, which is rendered in English as Christ Church. It is due to its ecclesiastical function that Christ Church's principal, the Dean, is always a clergyman. Sitting right in the heart of Oxford but bounded by its Meadow and the Rivers Cherwell and Isis, Christ Church is architecturally stunning. The Cathedral is a Romanesque gem and is entered from Tom Quad (the largest in Oxford and Wolsey's work).

Christ Church is home to a really welcoming and vibrant community of students and staff living in one of the most beautiful colleges in Oxford. Students at Christ Church can live in college accommodation throughout their degree and are lucky enough to eat subsidised meals in the famous (Harry Potter) dining hall. Most students live on the main site, just a stone's throw away from Christ Church Meadow, perfect for a walk or picnic with friends (and maybe Layla, the College dog). Christ Church offers fantastic welfare support for students, with trained student Peer Supporters and a College Counsellor. As well as the Junior Common Room (JCR) which has its own café, we have a TV room and college bar (the Undercroft or 'Undie'). There is a vibrant music scene at Christ Church and the JCR organise Arts Week once a year. For those interested in sport, Christ Church students have free access to the University gym and swimming pool and there are loads of college teams which are keen to recruit those of all abilities.
While in Christ Church these students are under the care of the Senior Censor, a Fellow (in the House, Fellows are officially called "Students"), and the Tutor for Associate Members. For more information on Christ Church, visit.
