University Church of St Mary the Virgin

For a few pounds you can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy the 360-degree view of Oxford, the beautiful long strips and the southern city. The church porch was built for four or five hundred years and its spiral columns are a major innovation in British architectural history.

This is the main church of Oxford University, the chapel of Oxford students, the Gothic building, the top of the bell tower, overlooking the Bodley Library and the College of All Souls, is the largest church in Oxford

To the University of the Virgin Mary, the top of the top is our main purpose. It took us about half an hour to get in line, and when we stepped on the spiral staircase that could only allow one person to pass, we finally realized why there were not many tourists, but it took so long. Up the top floor, you can see the whole of Oxford.

The University Church of St Mary the Virgin is a vibrant, welcoming, and inclusive church within the Church of England. Standing in the centre of Oxford, it is the spiritual heart of the oldest university in Britain.

The main church of Oxford University, which has been around for nearly a thousand years, is magnificent and gorgeous. This is a post-Gothic building with a spire that can enjoy the entire Oxford. Open from 9:00 to 17:00, and from July and August to 18:00. Tickets £3. The steps to the top are very narrow, one person has to walk sideways, and there is only one passage up and down, and the view of the church tower of the University of the Virgin Mary is uniquely beautiful. Once up to the top, it was like walking through the tunnel of time and space, and the city was full of gothic spires. Then that church was the brightest and warmest church I had ever seen.

After the afternoon tour of Morton College, we went to the University of Oxford Church of the Virgin Mary near High Street. We walked through the church door many times and entered it for the first time. Because of its proximity to Oxford’s famous High Street, we, like those who came to Oxford, saw the grandeur of this millennium-old church almost in the first place. It is said that the church was a shared church of the colleges in the early days, where all rituals, formal meetings, exams were carried out. Later, the activities of the colleges became more independent and the role of the church gradually weakened. The church's tall bell tower and grand exterior are also one of the landmarks of the ancient city of Oxford. But when you walk into the church, you see that the church is not magnificent, and the tall bell tower can be seen high and far away and attract many tourists to the church. Although the bell tower requires a £4 ticket, there are still many tourists waiting in line. We have no desire to climb, so we just look inside the church and go up to the second floor to see the panoramic view to feel the grandeur of the interior. Inside the church there are some people rehearsing stage dramas, the venue without the stage background is simply arranged with a few benches, and several contemporary young students are rehearsing in a colored manner. The performance inside the church is really a real performance, and this form of inner expression is the first time I have seen it.

The Church of the Virgin Mary, the cathedral of Oxford University, has a history of 1,000 years and is located next to Oxford High Street, with the church's tall bell tower and grand exterior, and is one of the landmarks of Oxford's ancient city. Visiting the church is free, the bell tower needs to buy a £4 ticket, and there are many tourists waiting in line to climb the bell tower, but it feels very worth the panoramic view of Oxford!

The Church of the University of Mary of Notre Dame (University Church of St Mary the Virgin), personally feel that it is a must-see among the many attractions in Oxford, and it must be the earliest and first to the attraction, because it has a tower that is said to be one of the most beautiful minarets in the UK, and the highest commanding height in the region, so this must be climbed, Tickets for the tower are £4 for adults and £3 for children. Because on the top of the tower, you can enjoy the entire Oxford college, and only here can you take a full view of the Bodley Library (Bodleian Library) and the whole view of the colleges such as the All-Wings Academy. You can say that you have been here, you can not have to go to the Academy of the Worlds, haha. But the passage to the top of the tower is not circular, you must return the same way, so the number of people who climb the tower is limited, and the passage is very narrow, only one person can pass, so you must arrive early to avoid queues and crowding.
