Grandpont, Oxford — Area Guide & Where to Stay

What are the main landmarks in Grandpont?

Museums dominate the register. The History of Science Museum, Modern Art Oxford, the Museum of Oxford, the Bate Collection of Musical Instruments, Christ Church Picture Gallery, and The Story Museum all sit on the list, alongside the Town Hall Civic Plate Collection. Churches run beside them: All Saints Church, St Aldate's Church, St Ebbe's Church, and Holy Rood Church, Oxford.

Kemp Hall, Tudor House, Tower House, Folly House, and the Bear Inn account for the secular building, with Wharf House among them. One causeway section endures.

What is the history of Grandpont?

Grandpont keeps no charter year. What survives instead is fabric, a section of the Grandpont causeway, Kemp Hall, Tudor House, the Bear Inn, and Grandpont House, each entered on the register under its own name rather than under a date. St Aldate's Church and St Ebbe's Church hold the parish side of that record.

The Museum of Oxford and the Town Hall Civic Plate Collection gather the city's own past within the same few streets, and The Story Museum sits alongside them.

Where is Grandpont?

The district's ground carries a surviving section of the Grandpont causeway, with Merton Field and the Oriel Square tennis court among the open spaces on the same register.
