Turl Street, lined with colorful shops, is one of Oxford center's original medieval streets. The early 18th century All Saints Church, at the end of Turl Street, where it meets Oxford's High Street, is now Lincoln College Library.

Turl Street was named for a twirling gate that used to exist in the city wall.

Have a look around this original lane, then cross it into Market Street. Jesus College is on the right and, midway between Turl Street and Cornmarket Street, you'll find the entrances to The Oxford Covered Market on the left.
