Sunday Mass (with incense)
Having been disappointed with St Mary the Virgin, the University Church, and with Pusey House not open for services, I stumbled into a church which just had the door ajar so I could see people in the pews. And what

Who’s Tom?
I feel that I have stepped either into an episode of Morse, of back in time several centuries, as Christ Church has its own time which is five minutes later than Greenwich Mean Time. The college decided not to take
