Description

Golden Cross is a shopping arcade at 5 Cornmarket Street in central Oxford, England. The original structure on the site dates from 1193, when it was called Maugershall after the then owner, and consisted of shops with an inn on the upper storeys. The building structures now on the site date from the late 15th century, when they were used as a traditional coaching inn, as is clear from its layout and historical documents. It has been redeveloped as a number of small upmarket shops from a collection of the historic buildings in the Golden Cross courtyard to the east off Cornmarket Street, one of Oxford's main shopping streets. Golden Cross is now used as Oxford's branch of Pizza Express, while a path underneath leads through to the historic Covered Market.There is strong but circumstantial evidence to link the buildings with William Shakespeare, given his player's company’s known performances in Oxford and the route from Stratford-on-Avon to London passing through Oxford. It is believed that Hamlet was performed in the inn courtyard and a signature that is reputedly his can be seen on the wall in the bursar’s office on the first floor of the adjacent building occupied by New College, Oxford.
