Beautiful church with lovely views of Oxford from the tower. Nominal fee to enter the tower. Although not as formidable as Christchurch Cathedral, it's a lovely church in it's own right.

Very good value cafe for drinks or lunch - first class views from the tower over Oxford makes climbing the spiral stairs worhwhile.

We loved this Church, especially the trip to the top of the tower for stunning views of Oxford. Not good for those who don't like winding little steps and a bit of exercise, but it is worth it when you get to the top.
We visited here mainly to pay £3 per person to climb up the very tall tower for the views at the top. Brilliant. Totally worth it if you can manage the climb, which is arduous.
We found a nice church with a rich history, especially regarding the Reformation martyrs. The climb up the steep, tight, spiral, staircase was well rewarded with panoramic views of the colleges and town.
Although you had to cue to climb the tower it was worth it! Amazing views of the city, especially the Radcliffe Camera
A combination of very reasonably priced and well cooked food in a medieval vaulted hall, a congenial atmosphere, several organic and vegetarian options, outdoor seating, and wifi. Coffee, lunch and tea only.
