"Oxford from the Southwest":

Here is the first view of Christminster Jude would have gotten as he approached from Marygreen. "Grey stoned and dun-roofed, it stood within hail of the Wessex border.... The buildings now lay quiet in the sunset, a vane here and there on their many spires and domes giving sparkle to a picture as sober secondary and tertiary hues." (Part II, Chapter I)

"The Martyrs' Cross, Oxford":

Here is the monument to the Protestant martyrs Cranmer, Latimer, and Ridley, which is set in Broad Street in Oxford, where the three were burned to death in 1555-56. Jude is supposed to meet his cousin, Sue Bridehead, "at the cross in the pavement which just marked the spot of the Martyrdoms." Of course, she balks: "I am not going to meet you just there, for the first time in my life." (Part 2, Chapter 4.)
