Christ Church, is one of the largest and wealthiest of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in England. The cathedral has a famous men and boys' choir, and is one of the main choral foundations in Oxford.

Christ Church has traditionally been seen as the most aristocratic college in Oxford. It has produced thirteen British prime ministers (the two most recent being Anthony Eden from 1955 to 1957 and Sir Alec Douglas-Home in 1963–1964), which is more than any other Oxford or Cambridge college (and two short of the total number for the University of Cambridge, fifteen).
