File:Bocardo Prison, Northgate, Oxford.jpg
Until 1771, the North Gate spanned Cornmarket immediately to the north of St Michael’s Street and St Michael-at-the-Northgate Church. Hence Cornmarket was known as North Gate Street until 1536, when a covered area was erected there to facilitate the selling of corn. Extracted from "Oxford History: City Wall"
