St. George's Chapel

Reviewed By sideboards

Inside the chapel you’ll find 10 different kings buried, beautiful ornate wood work commissioned by Henry V111 for Catherine of Aragon, and the stunning stained glass windows of this amazing church, inside is the final resting place of the queen mother and princess Margret along with princess Charlotte. This is a working church so you can listen to choirs and join the congregation for prayer.

Holy Trinity Garrison Church

Reviewed By 968nicholash - London, United Kingdom

Sadly the Windsor Garrison no longer uses this church, but it remains a shrine to the British Army with standards everywhere and the balcony fascia completely covered with memorials to various military campaigns. I was fortunate to visit on the day before Remembrance Sunday, so it was full of volunteers cleaning the interior and setting up for the following day’s service. I was able to have a fascinating talk with the vicar about the history of the church, which was initially funded by a donation by Queen Victoria. Prince Albert had a significant influence over its design and there’s a life sized statue of him in the entrance lobby. The magnificent interior is very definitely Victorian, but distinctly lighter and brighter than in many other churches of that era.

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’.

St Bartholomews

Reviewed By Haircut1953 - Worthing, United Kingdom

This Parish Church is simply STUNNING! The building is open from 10 am weekdays with a close for lunch. The building, commissioned by a local Cleric in the mid 19th Century is absolutely UNIQUE and breathtaking. The Liturgy on Sunday at Solemn High Mass is beautiful and , coupled with music by Viennese composers from a very capable choir and organist has to be heard, the acoustic is SIMPLY BREATHTAKING! The Church , I am told, is the ONLY Parish Church in EUROPE to sing a full LATIN MASS EVERY WEEK! If you’re a fan of Anglo Catholic Mass at its very best then please take the time to visit or attend High Mass on Sunday at 11.00!
