Catte Street

[3] At the northern end to the west is the Clarendon Building on Broad Street, with the Sheldonian Theatre nearby.

To the west at the southern end are the Radcliffe Camera and the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, the main church of the University, on the High Street.

Originally this street used to lead northwards as far as New College Lane, where the city wall blocked its way.

In the mid-13th century, the illuminator William de Brailes owned property, and presumably had his workshop, next to St Mary's.

Catte Street is mentioned in Philip Pullman's fictional works, His Dark Materials trilogy and Lyra's Oxford.
