Church

带着Cici看世界This is an area with dense attractions. In addition to St. Mary's Church, Shelton Theatre and Bodleian Library are also among them. These two can be regarded as landmarks of Oxford. St. Mary’s Church is the main church of Oxford University. It has a history of nearly a thousand years and its architecture is magnificent and gorgeous. There is a cafe on the first floor. Before the visit, we chose to have an afternoon tea here. Only when we are full can we have the strength to climb the clock tower, haha! Taking a picture of afternoon tea with the Bodleian Library as the background is also very feel! The church is actually very general, there is nothing special to see, but from her tower you can see the most photogenic study room of Radcliff Camera and All Souls College in Oxford. This is also a classic angle that has appeared in many movies. It is very spectacular. . (Picture 8-13) You still have to buy a ticket to climb the clock tower, 4 pounds. After boarding the clock tower, two classics will immediately appear before your eyes! Looking to the right, it is the majestic Petronas Twin Towers. That college is All Souls College. The college on the left is called Brasenose College, named after a bronze nose decoration in the College Hall.
