Canterbury Road is a road in North Oxford, England. It runs between Woodstock Road to the west and Banbury Road to the east. Winchester Road leads south from halfway along Canterbury Road, linking with Bevington Road that runs parallel to the south. Also to the south are North Parade and Church Walk. To the north is St Hugh's College, one of the former women's colleges of the University of Oxford (now mixed), fronting onto St Margaret's Road to the north and also stretching between Woodstock Road and Banbury Road. There are some modern ornamental iron gates opposite the junction with Winchester Road, giving access to the college grounds. The Orthodox Church of the Holy Trinity and the Annunciation, built in 1973, is at 1 Canterbury Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The Greek Orthodox Community of the Holy Trinity )〕 The area was formerly part of the estate of St John's College, Oxford,〔 and the road is named after the city of Canterbury in honour of the former Archbishops of Canterbury who were also Presidents of the College (William Laud and William Juxon). The road contains large expensive brick-built Gothic-style detached residences. They were designed by Frederick Codd in the 1870s and leased between 1873 and 1884.〔 These houses have been described as "Codd at his best" by Pevsner. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canterbury Road」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
