An Oxford Laboratory has been persuaded to revisit the dating of the shroud of Turin by a physicis professor. The shroud is the reported burial shroud of Jesus Christ. The professor, John Jackson, has argued that carbon monoxide could have contaminated the shroud and distorted its radio-carbon dating results by more than a thousand years.

Former Oxford Professor Terry Eagleton has publicised his plans to sue the University of Manchester for age discrimination after being forced by the University to retire from his current professorship at the age of 65.

Police were called to a suspected bomb alert on Tuesday, after an innocent tourist had padlocked her suitcase to a wall of Christ Church Meadows building. Having been alerted to the scene, just outside the Meadows building of Christ Church, the police were considering what further action to take when the tourist returned. Explaining that she had left the briefcase to go shopping, the alarm was called off, and the briefcase was removed. The College was temporarily closed whilst the area was cordoned off and inhabitants of Meadows building warned to keep away from their windows. Police deny claims that they were ready to carry out a controlled explosion.

Repair work on the Oxford Castle’s Mound has led to the discovery of a ten-sided tower that has been hidden since the late 1700s. The foundations of the tower that previously stood at the top of the mound overlooking Medieval Oxford were uncovered while work on a land subsidence was being carried out on site. Visitors should soon be allowed to observe the excavated tower, which may have to be reburied for safety reasons once the repairs are complete.
