Any fan of the PBS shows by these names knows we were in Oxford. No murder mysteries for us to solve though. We stayed in the Hotel Malmaison that has been converted from the Oxford Prison. It was in use til 1994, but up til then the sanitary facility in the cells was a pail!! It was too costly to install toilets!
The Oxford Castle next door dates from the 1000s and includes St George's Chapel where it is said that the education for which Oxford is famed began and where Geoffrey of Monmouth penned the Legends of King Arthur.
