Christ Church

Reviewed By PeteD60 - Ware, United Kingdom

This was an Tuesday afternoon visit in November – highlights – the Dining Hall – Custodian Sue was very informative and helpful – the tables were laid against a background of history with its Founder Cardinal Wolsey and after his fall Henry 8 and Elizabeth 1 looking down on the diners alongside portraits of Deans - past and present – different dining times for the students – early smart casual – later more formal with gowns – a different world – and then out into the quadrangle dominated by the Wren designed tower and then into the cathedral with its choir stalls running through the centre – guides on hand to provide additional information to the free guide – it is a visit of history and tradition in spades – well worth a visit – thank you

University Church of St. Mary the Virgin

Considered one of the oldest university buildings in the world, this is a superb example of Church Architecture from the 13th century.

Reviewed By Onleaveagain - Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom

Located directly opposite the Radcliffe Camera building this originally formed part of the university. It is a lovely church which is well worth a visit. Access can be gained to the top of the tower for a small fee and this provides great views across the city of Oxford which is also known as ‘The city of dreaming spires’.

Holy Trinity Church Headington Quarry

Reviewed By jaclynl323 - Thallichtenberg, Germany

The Church is super cute and peaceful. It is a little way on a path that is nice. The cemetery is pretty small, which made it easy to find CS Lewis’s grave. Very special spot.

The Oxford Oratory Church of St Aloysius Gonzaga

Reviewed By anglicano - Knutsford, United Kingdom

I'd attended sung eucharist at St Giles, opposite, and a fellow Anglican showed me this beautiful church. Mass was just ending, so I was able to chat to two of the priests, who were friendly and welcoming. The interior is most attractive, and I liked the smell of incence.

Blowing Stone

Reviewed By martent691 - Oxford, United Kingdom

Whilst the children won’t say that it was better than Disneyland there is a certain charm in this old Sarsen Stone. Explanatory leaflet for sale alongside for 20p. (All monies go to up keeping church fabric ‘ Just on the RHS coming down Blowing Stone Hill with parking space opposite. Maybe best to not blow into stone in these infectious times , Carry on down the hill cross the x roads and 400 yards along is the spectacular church of St John the Baptist in Kingston Lisle village. Fully refurbished this C12 church is wonderful with medieval wall paintings , C16 woodwork and Victorian stained glass. a beautiful serene space (ok I’m biased as I’m Church Warden!) . The two attractions and a walk on the Ridgeway make for a great day out.
