It is the bishop of Oxford University. It has a history of nearly a thousand years. Its architecture is magnificent and magnificent. This is a post-Gothic building with a view of Oxford standing on a spire. Opening time is 9 - "00 to 17 - "00, July and August are open to 18 - "00. Tickets are 3 pounds. The steps to the top are very narrow, and one has to walk sideways, and there is only one passageway up and down. The view of the church tower of Notre Dame University is unique and beautiful. Up to the top, it's like walking through time and space tunnel through ancient times. Gothic spires are everywhere in the city. And then that church is the brightest and warmest church I've ever seen.

    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.

    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.

    At the end of the afternoon at Morton College, we went to visit the Church of Notre Dame of Oxford near High Street. It was the first time that I had walked through the church door many times. Because of its proximity to Oxford's famous high street, we, like the people who came to Oxford, saw the magnificence of this church with a thousand-year history almost in the first place. It is said that the church was a common Church of all colleges in its early days. All the ceremonies, formal meetings and examinations were held here. Later, the activities of various colleges became more and more independent, and the role of churches gradually weakened. And the high bell tower and the appearance of the Great Bank of the church are also one of the landmarks of the old city of Oxford. But when you go inside the church, you can see that the church is not magnificent. The tall bell tower can be seen from a distance and attracts many visitors to the church. Despite the four pounds of tickets required to get to the Bell Tower, there are still a lot of tourists waiting in line. We have no desire to climb high, so we just look inside the church and walk up to the second floor of the church to see the panorama to feel the magnificence inside the church. In the church, there are some people rehearsing stage plays, without stage background, the venue is simply arranged a few benches, and several contemporary young student-like people are rehearsing vividly. The performance in the church is really a kind of live performance, which is also the first time to see the internal manifestation of the church.

    It's a scenic spot. Besides St. Mary's Church, Shelton Theatre and the Bodley Library are among them. These two are also Oxford landmarks. St. Mary's Church is the Cathedral of Oxford University. It has a history of nearly a thousand years. Its architecture is magnificent and magnificent. There is a cafe on the first floor. Before visiting, we choose to have afternoon tea here. We have enough to climb the Bell Tower. Haha. Taking a picture of afternoon tea in the background of the Bodley Library is also very feel. The church is very ordinary. There is nothing special to see, but on her tower we can see Radcliff Cameraff and Alsouls Co., which have the highest mirror rate in Oxford. Llege panorama, which is also a classic angle that has appeared in many movies, is very spectacular. (Fig. 8-13) Tickets, 4 pounds, are still required to climb the Bell Tower. Upon ascending the Bell Tower, two classics are displayed in front of you immediately. Looking to the right, it's the magnificent twin towers. That college is All Souls College. The college on the left is called Brasenose College, named after a bronze nose decoration in Hall.

    Oxford University Church, with beautiful windows, had a little time on the church chair, very quiet. Although it was winter, there was a flower blooming in front of the church. It's Gothic architecture with a spire. The picture on each piece of glass is a story.

    Notre Dame's University Church is really worth visiting. It's very big, it's very elegant and it looks beautiful. This church is the largest church in Oxford, where you can get a bird's eye view of the surrounding scenery.
