Oxford was a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, comprising the city of Oxford in the county of Oxfordshire.
The parliamentary borough of Oxford elected two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of England from its creation in 1295 to 1707, then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801. In 1885, its representation was reduced to one member by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 and it was abolished in 1983 as a result of the Third Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Oxford was a marginal seat.
The County Borough of Oxford. [2]
The boundaries were expanded to coincide with the County Borough.
As above, with redrawn boundaries. [2]
Areas which had been absorbed by the County Borough of Oxford, including Cowley and Headington, transferred from the Henley constituency. Small area in the north also transferred from Banbury.
Following the 1983 redistribution, this constituency was dissolved and divided into two distinct constituencies: Oxford East, and Oxford West and Abingdon. The City of Oxford local government district had succeeded the County Borough of Oxford on 1 April 1974, as outlined in the Local Government Act 1972, and the redistribution was a reflection of this change. Despite Oxford West and Abingdon encompassing Oxford city centre at the time, Oxford East primarily comprised the majority of the new district. Since 2010, the city centre has been situated within the redrawn Oxford East constituency.

Hall's election was declared void, on account of bribery, and the writ was suspended. [41]
In 1881, Chitty was appointed a judge and resigned the seat. However, as the writ was suspended, no by-election was held and the seat was left without an MP until 1885, when representation was also reduced to one member.

Oxford was a parliamentary constituency in the United Kingdom, comprising the city of Oxford in the county of Oxfordshire.
The parliamentary borough of Oxford elected two Members of Parliament to the House of Commons of the Parliament of England from its creation in 1295 to 1707, then of the Parliament of Great Britain from 1707 to 1800 and of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1801. In 1885, its representation was reduced to one member by the Redistribution of Seats Act 1885 and it was abolished in 1983 as a result of the Third Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies.
During the 1960s and 1970s, Oxford was a marginal seat.
The County Borough of Oxford. [2]
The boundaries were expanded to coincide with the County Borough.
As above, with redrawn boundaries. [2]
Areas which had been absorbed by the County Borough of Oxford, including Cowley and Headington, transferred from the Henley constituency. Small area in the north also transferred from Banbury.
Following the 1983 redistribution, this constituency was dissolved and divided into two distinct constituencies: Oxford East, and Oxford West and Abingdon. The City of Oxford local government district had succeeded the County Borough of Oxford on 1 April 1974, as outlined in the Local Government Act 1972, and the redistribution was a reflection of this change. Despite Oxford West and Abingdon encompassing Oxford city centre at the time, Oxford East primarily comprised the majority of the new district. Since 2010, the city centre has been situated within the redrawn Oxford East constituency.

Hall's election was declared void, on account of bribery, and the writ was suspended. [41]
In 1881, Chitty was appointed a judge and resigned the seat. However, as the writ was suspended, no by-election was held and the seat was left without an MP until 1885, when representation was also reduced to one member.
