In addition, in 1852 Magdalen and New College had their own choir schools (at Christ Church, the arrangement seems to have been much more informal). As these were considered "gown" rather than "town", these are listed under the "University Colleges and Halls" section of the Directory rather than the "City of Oxford" section, but are added below for ease of reference.
- Magdalen: Rev. James E. Millard, M.A., Schoolmaster;
Rev. William J. Sawell, M.A., Usher - New College: Rev. G. V. Cox, M.A., Schoolmaster
