This history church should not be missed. A pamphlet inside the church marks the significance in history. Great stain glass window. There is an extra fee to go up to the dome. This gives one a great view of Oxford from all sides. The gargoyles up close add to the fun. Have your camera ready!
If you are visiting Oxford for the first time then this has to be on your must list of things to do and visit. Oxford is awash with marvellous buildings that are steeped in history that our country has to offer. This church is perhaps in the centre of the great beautiful buildings around it and the £4 to go to the top is certainly the best £4 that you will spend to capture some great photographs on a clear day of the surrounding buildings. My wife and I can't recommend this Church enough.
Inside of the church is very nice and free to enter but the real attraction is the tower. Price is a bit steep as are the steps but the views from the top are well worth it as it shows Oxford from a different perspective entirely.
This church is interesting enough with all the history associated with it, and just outside it, displayed for avid history readers as soon as you walk through the doors. The view from the tower though is a must if you dont mind climbing the narrow spiral staircase. The photographic opportunities from the top are numerous, providing THE place to go to capture inner Oxford through the lens.
Climbing to the top of the tower, although hard work, is well worth it. The views over the city are terrific and seeing into many of the college grounds is a bonus. Not to be missed.
Our morning wander started from climbing something around 60steps in order to admire beautiful view over Oxford city centre :) well recommended !
A fairly normal church but the £4 to go up the tower for 360° views above oxford is well worth the climb the steps start easy enough but the last spiral staircase is a bit of a workout but worth it for the great views.
This church was an oasis of peace. Unfortunately when I visited I had to go and sit in the choir for that peace as some of the volunteers were having a good laugh amongst themselves which rather detracted from the atmosphere.
Very old and historic church, love historical churches anyway this was calming and spiritual. lovely.
The folks at the Visitor's Center recommended that I take the stairs to the top of the church steeple. The GBP 4.00 entry fee and the climb to the top give you a fantastic overview of Oxford University and the City of Oxford. You can see over the walls of the various colleges into the courtyards beyond. I can recommend this to anyone.
