The story

You're standing at Carfax, the crossroads at the heart of Oxford. In the Middle Ages this spot was called Quatrevoies. Have a look at the corner of St Aldate's and Queen Street. That's where the Swindlestock Tavern once stood, a pub the students loved. And right there, on 10 February 1355, one of the bloodiest fights in the city's history kicked off.
