Oxford -- The Eagle and Child (for Mr. Corcoran)

The pub where "the Inklings" met. The Inklings where a group of friends, all writers, that met once a week here to talk about life and what they were writing. Two of the Inklings happen to be two of the favorite authors from my boyhood-- C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien

Oxford -- Christ Church

Christ Church, Oxford. Lewis Carroll was a lecturer in Mathematics here and many films, including Harry Potter have filmed scenes here. Founded by Henry VIII. Yes, that Henry VIII.
