On Beaumont Street in Oxford, it is marked on a stone set in a pillar on the north side of it, near Walton Street, which bears the following inscription: Near this place stood the house of the king in which the king Ricardo I was born on September 8, 1157. The "House of the King" was the rank of the palace that contained the king's lodgings.

It was founded as the Monastery of St. Frideswide (Santa Fredesvinda), Oxford; House of Augustinian monks, but was evicted by Henry VIII of England, during the Dissolution of the monasteries.
Christ Church has traditionally been seen as the most aristocratic college in Oxford. He has produced thirteen Prime Ministers (the two most recent are Anthony Eden from 1955 to 1957; and Sir Alec Douglas-Home from 1963 to 1964), which is more than any other college in Cambridge or Oxford (and only two of the total number of who have left Cambridge: 15).

Merton College is one of the colleges that constitute the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. Its foundation can be dated in the 1260s, when Walter de Merton, secretary of Henry III of England and later of Edward I of England, established the first statutes for a new independent academic institution and established budgets to support it. One of the fundamental characteristics of the De Merton Foundation was that this college was going to govern itself and that the budgets were going to be created directly by the director and the professors and members of the college.
In 1274, when De Merton left the royal service and made final revisions to the statutes of the college, the community was consolidated at its current location southwest of Oxford, and a building construction program soon began. The hall, the chapel and the rest of the main courtyard were completed before the end of the 13th century, but except in the chapel, since then many modifications have been made to the buildings. For most visitors, the college and buildings are synonymous, but the history of the college is much deeper if we look separately at the history of the academic institution and the buildings and the place it has occupied for 750 years. Today, Merton College is in very good financial health, having an estimated budget of £ 142 million in 2006.

Magdalen College / ˈmɔːdlɨn / is one of the colleges that constitute the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom. In 2006 it had an estimated budget of 153 million pounds sterling.

Seen by some as the prettiest college among the Oxford or Cambridge colleges, the Magdalen is one of the most visited. It rises next to the Cherwell River and within its grounds there is a park with deer and the Addison’s Walk (Addison Road). The Magdalen College School is also nearby. The great Magdalen Tower is one of Oxford's most famous buildings, and it is a tradition for the college choir to sing from the top of the tower on May Morning. The current president of the college, Professor David Clary, was previously a professor and department head at Magdalene College, Cambridge.
