Albert Einstein studied there in the 1930's. A long time ago Oxford time was 5 minutes later than other places in England. The students of Oxford had to be in their dorms by 9:05 PM (9:00 Oxford Time). At this time the bell at the church would ring 101 times because that's how many students went there. They no longer carry on this tradition. Thankfully! I don't know if I could listen to that every night! Here are some pictures:
