Tom Quadrangle, named after the bell in the tower, 7 ton Tom!
This is the dining hall of Christchurch College. It was featured in first Harry Potter film, and it is rather impressive when you go and see it. It is still in daily use, with two seatings at supper time for the under graduates, lorded over by the professors. At 9:05 p.m. the bell (Tom) in the Tom Quadrangle (see the connection?) rings 101 times every night to remind the people of the first year of the school when there were 101 students in the college and 9 p.m. was doors shut time. Annoying or what??!? The Dining Hall
