Frideswide Square

Frideswide Square is a square to the west of central Oxford, England. The square is named after the patron saint of Oxford, St Frideswide. The name was chosen in a public vote in 2002, the area having previously been considered an extension of Park End Street and informally known as 'Station Junction' because it passes Oxford railway station.
