Pope set to visit Oxford

The Pope will be in Littlemore, I know it sounds weird but bare with me, tomorrow evening after his London and Birmingham trips.
He will be visiting John Henry Newman's old home (he is expected to receive beatification from the Pope), on Cottage Lane opposite The Golden Ball.

Large and no doubt costly police /Vatican security operation in the area earlier to "secure" it. Even sealing the drains.
Hopefully more details to follow in the morning and a specific(ish) time.
No Gods No Masters :)

This now looks unlikely. There was a visit by some Italian dignitary last
night that I didn't know about (I sent the email from work). So it will
most likely be just that. Can't imagine they'd try and close the Golden
Ball on too consecutive nights. There'd be riots!
Had been told a couple of times it would be the Pope today, including by a
PC at the time of the security sweep. It also fitted with John Henry
Newman's beatification and Italian security. So my apologies.
