No.23 University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford
Standing in the very centre of Oxford, the University Church of St Mary the Virgin is the spiritual heart of the oldest university in Britain, and has been the focus of Christian worship and of debates about religion, politics, and morality for over seven hundred years. St Mary’s has one of the most beautiful spires in England and an eccentric baroque porch, designed by Nicholas Stone, facing High Street. The tower commands some of the finest views of Oxford’s famous skyline. It is worth the climb of 124 steps to make it to the top to enjoy fine uninterrupted views in all directions across Oxford and the surrounding countryside.
