Without a doubt Christ Church is Oxford's most famous and visited College. Thirteen British Prime ministers have been educated here, the College was also home to Charles Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) author of Alice in Wonderland , W. H. Auden, William Penn (founder of Pennsylvania) and the Philosopher John Locke. More recently, you may have spotted the dining hall featured in the Harry Potter movie!
