Christ Church College - The minarets in front of the Church of Christ Church College are called Tom Towers. Built in 1681, there is a seven-ton clock in the tower called "Great Tom". At 9:05 every night, the clock rings 101 times, because the college was founded with 101 students, in the past, all the college doors closed after the last bell, and students who came back late are said to be fined. This rule was not repealed until 1963. Christ Church Oxford Christian Church College was founded in 1525 AD, is the largest college in Oxford University, once in the Civil War as the temporary capital of Charles I, the most proud is that in the modern 200 years, there have been 16 British Prime Ministers here, a great institution! Have to serve! But it is said to be the most expensive college for tourists to pay for. But it is worth the money compared to Oxford's admiration, and there is the reason for the little wizard Harry Potter. Christ Church College is the largest college at Oxford University, where 16 British prime ministers have attended in its history. The church college's visit highlights include antique corridors and cathedrals. The cloisters date back to the 15th century, and the Church of Christ, although the smallest church in England, deserves a taste of the architecture itself and interior design. Forgive me for being a vulgar person, not looking at these connotative buildings carefully, but hurried across the college restaurant south of Tom Quad, because he was selected by the movie Harry Potter as the filming location of the Academy of Wizards canteen, I want to hurry to feel the movie around the magic restaurant full of the president's oil paintings.

    Tom Tower is actually a bell tower, located at the main entrance of the Christian Church College of Oxford University. It is named after a 7-ton Big Tom Bell in the tower. It is said that the Big Tom Bell is the loudest bell among the many big bells at Oxford University. Every night at 9:05, the bell strikes 101 times in succession to commemorate the earliest 101 students in the college. I couldn't hear the bell because it was too late.

    It's a bell tower in front of the Christian Church College of Oxford University. There's a Big Tom Bell in it, so it's named. There's a lot of historical background. It's not to mention that Harry Potter took a view here.
