Oxford St. Paul was an ecclesiastical parish in the county of Oxfordshire, created in 1837 from parts of the parishes of Oxford St. Giles and Oxford St. Thomas the Martyr. This part of city is known as Jericho.

Jericho is an historic suburb of the English city of Oxford. It consists of the streets bounded by the Oxford Canal, Worcester College, Walton Street and Walton Well Road. Located outside the old city wall, it was originally a place for travellers to rest if they had reached the city after the gates had closed. The name Jericho may have been adopted to signify this 'remote place' outside the wall. (Source:Wikipedia)
