Reviews of University Church of St Mary the Virgin
S. S.Beautiful place to visit while you are in Oxford.
You can buy souvenir gifts from tower.
Excellent view's from the tower on a good day. Tickets are £5 to go up the tower and you get 20 minutes there. The steps get a bit steep as you get to the top but it is worth it for the view.
H. S. (.Beautiful church (Anglican) within Oxford campus with some gorgeous stained window. It is free to enter the church however they do charge a small fee if you want to climb the church bell tower to get a view of the Oxford city. They have a small gift shop by the entrance/lobby area of the church as well as a cafe/restaurant. A great place to relax, pray, and meditate during the day!
E. A.The church is free to enter and has some really beautiful glass paintings inside. A major part was under renovation so didn't get to see everything. However you can climb the clock tower with a small fee and get a whole view of Oxford city.
D.The view from the top of the church is amazing. You can see all of oxford from here. But, it costs about £5 to go to top and the way up is through a thin spiral staircase which isn't suitable for everyone.
M. J.Excellent venue for concerts with very helpful staff. The acoustics are perfect for a chamber orchestra. Here is a photo of pianist Jocelyn Freeman receiving applause after a performance of Mozart piano concerto No 9 in the Oxford Proms August concert series.
A. M.Offers great views on all sides across Oxford
And a bonus was the organ playing when we were inside . Loved it
C. P.A fascinating church for its history. We were happy to explore without a guidebook; but it's probably a wise idea to find out about St Mary's before visiting. It felt more than a little sacrilegious to find Adam de Brome's tomb (Floreat Oriel!) covered in leaflets and books. Not many people were wearing masks, so we'll visit the coffee shop another time.. If there had been an announcement that a communion service would follow midday prayer, we'd have joined the congregation: as it was, we felt like excluded bystanders. As the University church, could do better in being welcoming.
M. P.Stunning view from the top and recommend to climb to the top. If you have little kids, might be a challenge as it is narrow spiraling steps up.
D. I.Undoubtedly, the serenity of this beloved Christian environment will unequivocally take you back into realm of subtle Christianity. It once again reminds me of the much-needed equanimity the whole world require at this perlilous time.
It is a shame we are losing places like this in great numbers every year.
What a great monument to behold!!!
e. f.Awesome view from tower... narrow stairs but it worths
