Carfax is the name of the central crossroads in the centre of Oxford. It is the intersection of two roads which both change their name.

The name 'Carfax' is a corruption of the Latin Quadrifurcus, or the French "Quatre faces". What would 17th Century inhabitants make of the modern meaning of car-fax I wonder?

Carfax Tower sits on the North-west corner of the junction. This is part of what was St. Martin's Church, which was demolished in 1896 for road widening. The building is now a tourist attraction.
